64					-	find a library that does the heavy lifting
65					-	wrap it
66					-	if there are multiple options include and wrap all of them and use a factory method to choose one

68					-	choose which one to use either in config or allow the request to be made in the code for each specific circumstance
69				-	this works best when there are many constantly evolving implementations out there so you might want to swap them in and out
70				-	examples
71					-	
72			-	DRY
73			-	use magic (convention over configuration in Rails terms) in select instances that are
74				-	commonly used
75				-	easily learned
76			-	already started here: http://code.google.com/p/zoop/wiki/Philosophy
77			-	yagni
78			-	Quick and dirty vs slow and clean or... fast and clean
79				-	examples of how we allow you start start with fast and clean but rigid code, but then allow to add flexibility without breaking things (getters, setters, scaffolding etc)			
80			-	organic growth
81			-	motivation
82				-	work you want to do vs. work you have to do
83				-	instant gratification
84				-	getting something working quickly
85				-	open source vs closed sorce
86			-	we are not design pattern whores
87				-	we find solutions to problems and use design patterns when they fit
88				-	it seems like people are out there don't know how to actually solve problems so they study a bunch of design patterns and try to apply a standard design pattern to every single problem out there, but it's not always such a great fit
89				-	if I'm really just missing out here, just show me where
90		-	style
91			-	state the point
92			-	provide examlples in zoop
