 A_A is agnostic to the modeling software and technologies you choose to build
 your group around.
 
+### Philosophy
+
+A_A exists because one way or another I have implemented some version of this
+system in nearly every job I have held. In a large part this exists so I never
+have to implement this kind of system, from scratch, again. Hopefully some others
+folk can get some use out of it.

+Broadly A_A allows you to configure simple chains of python-Celery tasks. You
+certainly don't have to use the system for Data Science-y things but execution of
+number crunching tasks is our target. You find R, SciPy and NumPy support is
+rolled in to the system.

+A_A tries to be very unopinionated about the kinds of things that computational 
+tasks consume and produce. The upside is that it is versatile, the
+downside is that you still need to be something of a programmer to get the most
