+ <para>Simplicity:</para>
+ <para>
+Epiphany aims to utilize the simplest interface possible for a browser. Keep
+in mind that simple does not necessarily mean less powerful. We believe
+the commonly used browsers of today are too big, buggy, and bloated. Epiphany
+addresses simplicity with a small browser designed for the web -- not mail,
+newsgroups, file management, instant messenging or coffee making. The UNIX
+philosophy is to design small tools that do one thing, and do it well.
+
+Epiphany also address simplicity with modularity to make a light and powerful
+application. If something can be implemented using external applications
+or components, we use it rather than wasting resources in the web browser.
+Integration will be achived with CORBA, Bonobo, and the ever popular
+command line.
+
+Mail will be handled with your favorite e-mail application (Evolution, pine,
+mutt, balsa, pronto, whatever).
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Standards compliance:</para>
+ <para>
+The introduction of non-standard features in browsers could make it difficult
+or impossible to use alternative products like Epiphany if developers embrace
+them. Alternative (standards complying) browsers could not be able to
+fully access web sites making use of these features. The success of
+non-standard features can ultimately lead to forcing one browser, on
+one platform to dominate the market. Standards compliance ensures the
+freedom of choice. Epiphany aims to achieve this.

+ <para>HIG compliance</para>
+ <para>
+Epiphany is going to follow version 1.0 of the gnome
+user guidelines. Unless there are very seriuos reasons to make an
+exception not following it will be considered a bug.
+"I follow the HIG only when I like it" is not a legitimate approach.
+Any areas where we diverge from the HIG will communicated
+to the HIG team for future consideration.

+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Gnome integration</para>
+ <para>
+Epiphany's main goal is to be integrated with the gnome desktop.
+We dont aim to make epiphany usable outside Gnome. If someone will like
+to use it anyway, it's just a plus. Ex: Making people happy that
+don't have control center installed is not a good reason
+to have mime configuration in epiphany itself.

+ <para>
+We will follow the new gnome policy about preferences.

+ <para>User target</para>
+ <para>
+We target non-technical users by design.
+This happens to be 90% of the user population.
+(Technical details should not exposed in the interface)
+We target web users, we dont directly target web developers.
+A few geek-oriented feautures can be kept as
+long as they are non-obtrusive.
