This sets the tone for the whole project. It makes it clear what we are trying to do. "To produce a Fanuc only Gcode controller using PC hardware" "To produce a new standard of 'one Gcode to control them all' controller using common hardware" "To facilitate machine control / integration using common hardware. To lower technical knowledge required to integrate machines while still allowing flexible customization. To broaden the utilization of linuxcnc to other disciplines and hardware platforms. To maintain a stable software set, while actively integrating advancements. To act on feedback from our user base" As you can see a mission statement answers some questions before they are asked and helps keep us moving in the same general direction.
