Lorem ipsum at nusquam appellantur his, labitur bonorum pri no [@dueck:trio]. His no decore nemore graecis. In eos meis nominavi, liber soluta vim cu. Sea commune suavitate interpretaris eu, vix eu libris efficiantur.

## Motivation

## Overarching Project Goals

* Keep It Simple, Stupid (KISS)
* Reuse existing technologies bits wherever possible
* Integrate state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies
* Document, Document, Document
* Automate almost everything right from the beginning
* be an excellent citizen: test, test, test

Some unsorted thoughts the be ordered yet:

* Storage of information in some external database, make use of database features, e.g., for state replication
* eye towards web-technologies/features, such as externalisation of state
* one API to "talk"  administratively to the network controller
* core of controller should be kept simple/lean, i.e., just the basic primitives
* core should be extended by modules to add functionality beyond basics
* modules should be loaded (or unloaded) during runtime of the controller core
