+* Rationale
+
+The creation of Facility is driven by the absence of an open, flexible and easy
+to use framework for creating embedded applications. Some key features of
+Facility and the rationale behind that design decision are included below:
+
+- modular : Facility must be extensible. It must be easy to insert and
+ completely integrate local modules and other local logic into the Facility
+ build system without making any changes to the facility core. The interface
+ into Facility must be such that individuals developing disparate applications
+ can collaborate on the core without interfering with (or knowing/caring
about)
+ each other's applications.
+
+- portable : Facility can be used on any system. It does not depend on obscure
+ tools but instead relies on familiar tools that will be found on most any
+ Facility is distributed as source code to aid portability.
+
+- integrated : Facility is an integration system. It brings together all
pieces
+ that go into creating an image for an embedded device.
