=== Narrow Package Focus  ===

What you actually want, we think/hope, is a system that achieves your functional goals (assuming these are reasonable and feasible) and has the properties highlighted in the Value Prop(osition). In general what you may have thought is the 'platform' choice or package du Jour generally has little to do with the attainment (except possibly to hinder it) of there properties. Nonetheless, unless such a choice presents a full blown conflict with the attainment of our [[:en:Total Quality Management|TQM]] goals, we can accomodate it.
What you actually want, we think/hope, is a system that achieves your functional goals (assuming these are reasonable and feasible) and appreciate the value of having those goals realized without tying you to particular packages, but rather presented as intellectual work product which can be adapted to different backends. In general what you may have thought is the 'platform' choice or package du Jour generally has little to do with the attainment (except possibly to hinder it) of such goals. Nonetheless, unless such a choice presents a full blown conflict with the attainment of our [[:en:Total Quality Management|TQM]] goals, we attempt to accommodate it by including support for a large selection of such packages in our framework.
