 # New Session Manager
 
+## Mission Statement
+* Drop-In replacement for the non-session-manager daemon nsmd and tools (e.g. jackpatch)
+* Simple and hassle-free build system to make packaging easy
+* Possibility to react to sensible bug fixes that would not have been integrated original nsmd
+* Stay upwards and downwards compatible with original nsmd
+* Conservative and hesistant in regards to new features and behaviour-changes, but possible in principle
+* Keep the session-manager separate from the other NON* tools Mixer, Sequencer and Timeline.
+* Protect nsmd from vanishing from the internet one day.
+* The goal is to become the de-facto standard session manager for Linux distributions
