 [[!meta title="What are Gitano's goals?"]]
 
-NOTE: This is work in progress.
+Gitano is both a project and a program within that project.
 
-Provide a FOSS git server that a security conscious system administrator would be prepared to host on their machines and allow people they may not know very well to use it.
+# Goals for the Gitano program
+
+The primary goal of Gitano is to
+provide a FOSS git server
+that a security conscious system administrator
+would be prepared to host on their machines
+and allow people they may not know very well to use it.
+
+Other goals of Gitano include:
+
+1.  All configuration and metadata is stored within the git repositories.
+2.  Provide mechanisms to build powerful features out of
+    rather than hard-code logic to provide those features.
+    <!-- The bypass key is an exception to this
+         because there needs to be a back door if soft-code locks you out,
+         and the gitano-admin group raises the log level ceiling
+         because if the log level cap depended on running ACLs
+         you wouldn't be able to log ACLs -->
+3.  We prefer interopability over reimplementation.
+
+    We provide hooks and instruction for how to integrate cgit,
+    rather than implementing our own web interface.
+
+# Goals for the wider Gitano project
+
+Foster an ecosystem of tooling capable of providing
+a federated equivalent to centralised solutions such as GitHub or GitLab.
