Mission Statement version 0.1 for Axis Groupware (axisgroupware.org)

Axis Groupware is a turnkey groupware package for workgroups and enterprise, 
fulfilling the goals of phpGroupWare. Administrators and users may begin using 
Axis right away, migrating and building their core workgroup and enterprise 
infrastructure squarely upon it, and learning it as they go.

Goals
 * Quality assurance
  o We select the most feature complete and stable snapshot from 
phpGroupWare\'s official CVS repository on savannah.gnu.org. The first priority 
is stability and the second priority is feature completeness.
 * Full parity with phpGroupWare
  o We stay in sync with that snapshot, submitting patches to the phpGroupWare 
core team except in the case of a cosmetic \"one-off\". Axis Groupware exists 
to fulfill the goals of phpGroupWare. Situated alongside the phpGroupWare 
developer family, the Axis team intends only to enhance their core engineering 
efforts by providing additional feature completeness and quality assurance to 
the base phpGroupWare product. As phpGroupWare evolves, so does Axis, mutually 
merging their accomplishments. The Axis of the present may be the phpGroupWare 
of the future.
 * Good defaults
  o A good default user interface theme
  o Optional default organizational settings such as global categories.
  o Preferences templates for all new users.
  o Thinking about basic human interface guidelines.
 * Documentation
  o At least basic documentation for target audiences and common usage 
scenarios. Getting people quickly up to speed.
 * More applications
  o We don\'t include those applications from the phpGroupWare core 
distribution which are not entirely complete or useful. We add foreign 
applications which are suitable for cosmetic assimilation, encouraging their 
developers to become part of the phpGroupWare application family.
 * Legacy migration
  o We provide documentation and utility support for migration from proprietary 
groupware components into open standard groupware such as Axis.
 * Standards and affiliations
  o We intend to uphold the core values of all open standards of groupware 
interoperability and data interchange such that the site user and administrator 
may freely select the best tool for the job.
  o We invite collaboration with any willing and able developer group.
