Proposal:

  ".. to assist and encourage people in their paid work as
   Free Software authors, getting the highest levels of
   competence and efficiency."


    * producers --> authors
    * professional --> paid + competent + efficient
    * persons --> people



The wording sounds odd.  I do not know if it can be improved.

Let the list know any flame, improvements, etc.
