The goal of the Astaro Community Software Project is to create a working and extensible framework with which new (third-party) software can be added to stock ASL systems. The desire to do this arose because ASL systems are not simply standalone firewalls, they are fully-functioning Linux servers. As such, they can be used for more in-depth network hacking purposes than are officially supported by Astaro. The primary goal of ACS, however, is to add related functionality to ASL firewalls - we are not trying to turn ASL into a desktop environment.
