1.1       david      20: Each person working on OpenBSD has their own aims and priorities,
                     21: but the goals of project as a whole are to:
                     22: <ul>
1.3       fn         23: <li>Provide the best development platform possible - with full source access
1.12      kstailey   24:     for developers and users.
1.3       fn         25: <li>Work towards a machine independent source tree.
1.9       deraadt    26: <li>Pay attention to security problems and fix them.
1.13    ! deraadt    27: <li>Work towards greater integration of cryptographic software where
        !            28:        possible.  This means IPsec, IPv6, key engines, and other forms
        !            29:        of strong crypto.  OpenBSD is from Canada and may export crypto.
1.12      kstailey   30: <li>Track and implement standards (POSIX, parts of X/Open, etc.)
1.3       fn         31: <li>Support as many different systems and hardware as feasible.
                     32: <li>Be as politics free as possible - solutions should be decided on the
                     33:     basis of technical merit.
                     34: <li>Provide a good cross compile/development platform.
                     35: <li>Integrate good code from any source with acceptable copyright
                     36:     (Berkeley style preferred, GPL acceptable, NDA not).
                     37: <li>Import external packages with minimal modifications - making upgrading
                     38:     much easier. Also to submit back to the developers any changes made.
