| − | * '''Give people the infrastructure to create solid and exciting software products based on the Openmoko platform'''

| − | * '''Support competing UIs while collaborating on developing services'''
| + | |
| − | * '''Encourage framework users (e.g. application developers) to also contribute to the framework'''

| − | | + | |
| − | * Make it simple
| + | |
| − | * Concentrate on core services
| + | |
| − | * Be programming language agnostic
| + | |
| − | * Be UI toolkit agnostic
| + | |
| − | * Try to reuse existing technologies as much as possible, but not at the cost of a bad API
| + | |

| − | =How to achieve that technically=
| + | |
| − | * Chose [[Dbus]] as the collaboration line. Below dbus, we can work together. Above dbus, we can differenciate.
| + | |
| − | * Expose features through dbus APIs implemented by UI and language-agnostic services (daemons).
| + | |
| − | * Optimize for Openmoko devices, but support multiple architectures and purposes through plugin interfaces and suitable hardware abstraction mechanisms.
| + | |
| − | * Be not afraid of reinventing the wheel for a wheel-barrow if all the existing wheels are made for sports cars.
