 (Brave, hard decisions)
 | There is a constant experimentation with new features and directions. We are willing to try strange/unusual ideas without risking the stability of the daily workflow. |  
	 
	
	| Rants Now
 Dissipating
 | Instead of talking and ranting a lot about what could work better, we just sit down and make it work better. |  
	 
	
	| Rather Nicely
 Decentralized
 | Slim, generic core; most of the code organized in replacable plugins. Most plugins depend only on the core. |  |
