Feel free to add more goals for this community. Here is my take as the founder of it:
1) To always formally declare up front that the mode of analysis is Advanced Chess960 (computer assisted).
2) To play our practical and competitive Advanced Chess960 games at http://lss.chess-server.net/info/home where computer assistance is fully recognized, and just to use Chess.com resources to publish our ideas that we gather from these games.
2) To always think independently of the machine for learnings sake and to simply use the machine to check your ideas for blunder. We use computers as a tool to learn more about Chess960 just like an astronomer uses a telescope to learn more about space than is possible with the naked eye.
3) To build a useful Chess960 database that is free of immediate blunders. That database cannot reside here at Chess.com, but it does over at http://lss.chess-server.net/info/home where Advanced Chess960 is fully recognized.
4) To share the new ideas that this form of Chess960 play will find and to teach others about 960.
5) To demonstrate that Advanced Chess960 is still using the human mind, but in a different way.
6) To lobby Chess.com for a legitimized Advanced Chess960 ratings category so that this way of learning can be expanded to actual competitive play. All commonsense points to the logic that there is nothing wrong with competitive computer assisted Chess960 play so long as it is declared up front and recognised. We can even go further and say that recognising computer assisted play may even be a necessary step for the future of online chess play.
