Restricted content will NOT be visible to "spy networks" and advertisers. It will be protected against eavesdropping by outsiders - to the best of our ability. Hub administrators with sufficient skills and patience MAY be able to eavesdrop on some private communications but they must expend effort to do so. Privacy modes exist within $Projectname which are even resistant to eavesdropping by skilled and determined hub administrators. - -Q: Can my content be censored? - -A: $Projectname (the network) CANNOT censor your content. Server and hub administrators are subject to local laws and MAY remove objectionable content from their site/hub. Anybody MAY become a hub administrator, including you; and therefore publish content which might otherwise be censored. You still MAY be subject to local laws. - - -##Definitions - -**$Projectname** - -Otherwise referred to as "the network", $Projectname is a collection of individual computers/servers (aka **hubs**) which connect together to form a larger cooperative network. - -**hub** - -An individual computer or server connected to $Projectname. These are provided by a **hub administrator** and may be public or private, paid or free. - -**hub administrator** - -The system operator of an individual hub. - -##Policies - -**Public Information** - -Any information or anything posted by you within $Projectname MAY be public or visible to anybody on the internet. To the extent possible, $Projectname allows you to protect content and restrict who can view it. - -Your profile photo, your channel name, and the location (URL or network address) of your channel are visible to anybody on the internet and privacy controls will not affect the display of these items. - -You MAY additionally provide other profile information. Any information which you provide in your "default" or **public profile** MAY be transmitted to other hubs in $Projectname and additionally MAY be displayed in the channel directory. You can restrict the viewing of this profile information. It may be restricted only to members of your hub, or only connections (friends), or other limited sets of viewers as you desire. If you wish for your profile to be restricted, you must set the appropriate privacy setting, or simply DO NOT provide additional information. - -**Content** - -Content you provide (status posts, photos, files, etc.) belongs to you. $Projectname default is to publish content openly and visible to anybody on the internet (PUBLIC). You MAY control this in your channel settings and restrict the default permissions or you MAY restrict the visibility of any single published item separately (PRIVATE). $Projectname developers will ensure that restricted content is ONLY visible to those in the restriction list - to the best of their ability. - -Content (especially status posts) that you share with other networks or that you have made visible to anybody on the internet (PUBLIC) cannot easily be taken back once it has been published. It MAY be shared with other networks and made available through RSS/Atom feeds. It may also be syndicated on other $Projectname sites. It MAY appear on other networks and websites and be visible in internet searches. If you do not wish this default behaviour please adjust your channel settings and restrict who can see your content. - -**Comments and Forum posts** - -Comments to posts that were created by others and posts which are designated as forum posts belong to you as the creator/author, but the distribution of these posts is not under your direct control, and you relinquish SOME rights to these items. These posts/comments MAY be re-distributed to others, and MAY be visible to anybody on the internet. In the case of comments, the creator of the "first message" in the thread (conversation) to which you are replying controls the distribution of all comments and replies to that message. They "own" and therefore have certain rights with regard to the entire conversation (including all comments contained within it). You can still edit or delete the comment, but the conversation owner also has rights to edit, delete, re-distribute, and backup/restore any or all the content from the conversation. - -**Private Information** - -$Projectname developers will ensure that any content you provide which is designated as PRIVATE will be protected against eavesdropping - to the best of their ability. Private channel content CAN be seen in the database of every involved hub administrator, but private messages are obscured in the database. The latter means that it is very difficult, but NOT impossible for this content to be seen by a hub administrator. Private channel content and private messages are also stripped from email notifications. End to end encryption is provided as an optional feature and this CANNOT be seen, even by a determined administrator. - -##Identity Privacy - -Privacy for your identity is another aspect. Because you have a decentralized identity in $Projectname, your privacy extends beyond your home hub. If you want to have complete control of your privacy and security you should run your own hub on a dedicated server. For many people, this is complicated and may stretch their technical abilities. So let's list a few precautions you can make to assure your privacy as much as possible. - -A decentralized identity has a lot of advantages and gives you al lot of interesting features, but you should be aware of the fact that your identity is known by other hubs in $Projectname network. One of those advantages is that other channels can serve you customized content and allow you to see private things (such as private photos which others wish to share with you). Because of this those channels need to know who you are. But we understand that sometimes those other channels know more from you than you might desire. For instance the plug-in Visage that can tell a channel owner the last time you visit their profile. You can easily OPT-OUT of this low level and we think, harmless tracking. - -* You can enable [Do Not Track (DNT)](http://donottrack.us/) in your web browser. We respect this new privacy policy proposal. All modern browsers support DNT. You will find it in the privacy settings of your browsers or else you can consult the web browser's manual. This will not affect the functionality of $Projectname. This setting is probably enough for most people. - -*You can [disable publication](settings) of your channel in our channel directory. If you want people to find your channel, you should give your channel address directly to them. We think this is a good indication that you prefer extra privacy and automatically enable "Do Not Track" if this is the case. - -* You can have a blocked hub. That means that all channels and content on that hub is not public, and not visible to the outside world. This is something only your hub administrator can do. We also respect this and automatically enable "Do Not Track" if it is set. - -###Censorship - -$Projectname is a global network which is inclusive of all religions and cultures. This does not imply that every member of the network feels the same way you do on contentious issues, and some people may be STRONGLY opposed to the content you post. In general, if you wish to post something that you know may nor be universally acceptable, the best approach is to restrict the audience using privacy controls to a small circle of friends. - -$Projectname as a network provider is unable to censor content. However, hub administrators MAY censor any content which appears on their hub to comply with local laws or even personal judgement. Their decision is final. If you have issues with any hub administrator, you may move your account and postings to another site which is more in line with your expectations. Please check (periodically) the [Terms of Service](help/TermsOfService) of your hub to learn about any rules or guidelines. If your content consists of material which is illegal or may cause issues, you are STRONGLY encouraged to host your own (become a hub administrator). You may still find that your content is blocked on some hubs, but $Projectname as a network cannot block it from being posted. - -$Projectname RECOMMENDS that hub administrators provide a grace period of 1-2 days between warning an account holder of content that needs to be removed and physically removing or disabling the account. This will give the content owner an opportunity to export their channel meta-data and import it to another site. In rare cases the content may be of such a nature to justify the immediate termination of the account. This is a hub decision, not a $Projectname decision. - -If you typically and regularly post content of an adult or offensive nature, you are STRONGLY encouraged to mark your account "NSFW" (Not Safe For Work). This will prevent the display of your profile photo in the directory except to viewers that have chosen to disable "safe mode". If your profile photo is found by directory administrators to be adult or offensive, the directory administrator MAY flag your profile photo as NSFW. There is currently no official mechanism to contest or reverse this decision, which is why you SHOULD mark your own account NSFW if it is likely to be inappropriate for general audiences. - -#include doc/macros/main_footer.bb; diff --git a/doc/about.bb b/doc/about.bb deleted file mode 100644 index 1ec1cf28e..000000000 --- a/doc/about.bb +++ /dev/null @@ -1,24 +0,0 @@ -[b]About[/b]

-$Projectname is a decentralized communication network, which aims to provide communication that is censorship-resistant, privacy-respecting, and thus free from the oppressive claws of contemporary corporate communication giants. These giants function primarily as spy networks for paying clients of all sorts and types, in addition to monopolizing and centralizing the Internet; a feature that was not part of the original and revolutionary goals that produced the World Wide Web.
-
-$Projectname is free and open source. It is designed to scale from a $35 Raspberry Pi, to top of the line AMD and Intel Xeon-powered multi-core enterprise servers. It can be used to support communication between a few individuals, or scale to many thousands and more.
-
-$Projectname aims to be skill and resource agnostic. It is easy to use by everyday computer users, as well as by systems administrators and developers.
-
-How you use it depends on how you want to use it.
-
-It is written in the PHP scripting language, thus making it trivial to install on any hosting platform in use today. This includes self-hosting at home, at hosting providers such as [url=http://mediatemple.com/]Media Temple[/url] and [url=http://www.dreamhost.com/]Dreamhost[/url], or on virtual and dedicated servers, offered by the likes of [url=https://www.linode.com]Linode[/url], [url=http://greenqloud.com]GreenQloud[/url] or [url=https://aws.amazon.com]Amazon AWS[/url].
-
-In other words, $Projectname can run on any computing platform that comes with a web server, a MySQL-compatible database, and the PHP scripting language.
-
-Along the way, $Projectname offers a number of unique goodies:
-
-[b]Single-click user identification:[/b] meaning you can access sites on $Projectname simply by clicking on links to remote sites. Authentication just happens automagically behind the scenes. Forget about remembering multiple user names with multiple passwords when accessing different sites online.
-
-[b]Cloning:[/b] of online identities. Your online presence no longer has to be tied to a single server, domain name or IP address. You can clone and import your identity (or channel as we call it) to another server (or, a hub as servers are known in $Projectname). Now, should your primary hub go down, no worries, your contacts, posts[i]*[/i], and messages[i]*[/i] will automagically continue to be available and accessible under your cloned channel. [i](*: only posts and messages as from the moment you cloned your channel)[/i]
-
-[b]Privacy:[/b] $Projectname identities (Zot IDs) can be deleted, backed up/downloaded, and cloned. The user is in full control of their data. Should you decide to delete all your content and erase your Zot ID, all you have to do is click on a link and it's immediately deleted from the hub. No questions, no fuss.

-[b]Registration[/b]
-
-Not all $Projectname sites allow open registration. If registration is allowed, you will see a "Register" link immediately below the login prompts on the site home page. Following this link will take you to the site Registration page. On some sites it may redirect you to another site which allow registrations. As all $Projectname sites are linked, it does not matter where your account resides.
-
-[b]Your Email Address[/b]
-
-Please provide a valid email address. Your email address is never published. This address will be used to (optionally) send email notifications for incoming messages or items, and used to recover lost passwords.
-
-[b]Password[/b]
-
-Enter a password of your choice, and repeat it in the second box to ensure it was typed correctly. As $Projectname offers a decentralised identity, your account can log you in to many other websites.
-
-[b]Terms Of Service[/b]
-
-Click the link to read the site's terms of service. Once you've read them, tick the box in the register form to confirm.
-
-[b]Register[/b]
-
-Once you have provided the necessary details, click the 'Register' button. Some sites may require administrator approval before the registration is processed, and you will be alerted if this is the case. Please watch your email (including spam folders) for your registration approval.
-
-[b]Create a Channel[/b]
-
-Next, you will be presented with the "Add a channel" screen. Normally, your first channel will be one that represents you - so using your own name (or psuedonym) as the channel name is a good idea. The channel name should be thought of as a title, or brief description of your channel. The "choose a short nickname" box is similar to a "username" field. We will use whatever you enter here to create a channel address, which other people will use to connect to you, and you will use to log in to other sites. This looks like an email address, and takes the form nickname@siteyouregisteredat.xyz*
-
-When your channel is created you will be taken straight to your settings page where you can define permissions, enable features, etc. All these things are covered in the appropriate section of the helpfiles.
-
-*Note: It is not possible to change this address after creating the channel.

Open your domain with a browser and step throught the initial configuration of $Projectname. +### Server Roles + +$Projectname can be configured in many different ways. One of the configurations available at installation is to select a 'server role'. There are currently three server roles. We highly recommend that you use 'standard' unless you have special needs. + + +#### Basic + +The 'basic' server role is designed to be relatively simple, and it doesn't present options +or complicated features. The hub admin may configure additional features at a site level. +This role is designed for simple social networking and social network federation. Many features +which do not federate easily have been removed, including (and this is somewhat important) +"nomadic identity". You may move a channel to or from a basic server, but you may not clone +it. Once moved, it becomes read-only on the origination site. No updates of any kind will be +provided. It is recommended that after the move, the original channel be deleted - as it is +no longer useable. The data remains only in case there are issues making a copy of the data. + +This role is supported by the hubzilla community. + +#### Standard + + +The 'standard' server role is recommended for most sites. All features of the software are +available to everybody unless locked by the hub administrator. Some features will not federate +easily with other networks, so there is often an increased support burden explaining why +sharing events with Diaspora (for instance) presents a different experience on that network. +Additionally any member can enable "advanced" or "expert" features, and these may be beyond +their technical skill level. This may also result in an increased support burden. + +This role is supported by the hubzilla community. + +#### Pro + +The 'pro' server role is primarily designed for communities which want to present a uniform +experience and be relieved of many federation support issues. In this role there is +**no federation with other networks**. Additional features **may** be provided, such +as channel ratings, premium channels, and e-commerce. + +By default a channel may set a "techlevel" appropriate to their technical skill. Higher +levels provide more features. Everybody starts with techlevel 0 (similar to the 'basic' +role) where all complicated features are hidden from view. Increasing the techlevel provides +more advanced or complex features. + +The hub admin may also lock individual channels or their entire site at a defined techlevel +which provides an installation with a selection of advanced features consistent with the +perceived technical skills of the members. For instance, a community for horse racing might +have a different techlevel than a community for Linux kernel developers. + +This role is not supported by the hubzilla community. + +### Techlevels + +Techlevels is a unique feature of Hubzilla 'pro'. It is not available in other server_roles, although it expands on the concepts introduced in $Projectname 'basic'. + +We've implemented several different mechanisms in order to reduce the apparent complexity and learning curve presented to new members. At the same time, we do not wish to limit any functionality for people who are able to grasp some slightly advanced technical technical features. The first mechanism was to move several features to an optional 'Features' page where they could be enabled at will; with the default interface kept somewhat lean. + +The problem we had now is that the number of features began to grow dramatically, and the Feature page is daunting in possibilities. There are also features present which probably should not be available to all members, but may be extremely useful to those with technical backgrounds. + +The techlevels seeeks to remedy this by grouping features within different levels of technical ability; starting at 0 (uncomfortable with technology), and up to 5 (Unix wizard or equivalent). + +When a new member registers, their account is provided a techlevel setting of 0. On the account settings page they may change this to any available level. A higher level opens more advanced features and possible interactions. + +The account administrator may also lock a particular level, lock a maximum level, or change/re-arrange the features available to any level. Those with the minimum level are typically not very exploratory and are unlikely to discover the advanced modes. This is by design. Those that look around and desire more interactions will find them. In the absence of administrator defaults they may choose any level. As they look at the features available to the level in question, it is generally expected that they will discover some features are beyond their comprehension and it is hoped they will back off to a level where the interface and features are comfortable to their skill level. This is somewhat experimental at present and for that reason is not part of the 'standard' server role. The standard server role is preset to level '5', and the basic server role is preset to level '0', with no possibility of change. Members in these roles may find themselves overwhelmed or underwhelmed by the feature set and complexity. + + ### Service Classes Service classes allow you to set limits on system resources by limiting what individual diff --git a/doc/contributor/covenant.html b/doc/contributor/covenant.html deleted file mode 100644 index 4facac24e..000000000 --- a/doc/contributor/covenant.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,106 +0,0 @@ -<!DOCTYPE html> - -<html lang="en"> -<head> - <meta charset="utf-8"/> - <title>Contributor Covenant 1.4.0</title> - <style> - body { - font-family: monospace; - padding: 4em; - } - a { - color: #990000; - } - </style> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="version/1/3/0/de/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="version/1/4/es/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="version/1/3/0/fr/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="hu" href="version/1/3/0/hu/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="it" href="version/1/3/0/it/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="ja" href="version/1/3/0/ja/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="pl" href="version/1/4/pl/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="pt" href="version/1/3/0/pt/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="pt" href="version/1/3/0/pt_br/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="ru" href="version/1/3/0/ru/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="sl" href="version/1/4/sl/" /> - <link rel="alternate" hreflang="uk" href="version/1/4/uk/" /> -</head> - -<body> - -<h1>Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct</h1> - -<h2>Our Pledge</h2> - -<p>In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as -contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and -our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body -size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, -nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and -orientation.</p> - -<h2>Our Standards</h2> - -<p>Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment -include:</p> - -<ul> - <li>Using welcoming and inclusive language</li> - <li>Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences</li> - <li>Gracefully accepting constructive criticism</li> - <li>Focusing on what is best for the community</li> - <li>Showing empathy towards other community members</li> -</ul> - -<p>Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:</p> - -<ul> - <li>The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances</li> - <li>Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks</li> - <li>Public or private harassment</li> - <li>Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission</li> - <li>Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting</li> -</ul> - -<h2>Our Responsibilities</h2> - -<p>Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable -behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in -response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.</p> - -<p>Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or -reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions -that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or -permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, -threatening, offensive, or harmful.</p> - -<h2>Scope</h2> - -<p>This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces -when an individual is representing the project or its community.

The $Projectname code base is an advanced and mature system, but the platform is still very flexible and responsive to new ideas. + +We're pretty relaxed when it comes to developers. We don't have a lot of rules. Some of us are over-worked and if you want to help we're happy to let you help. That said, attention to a few guidelines will make the process smoother and make it easier to work together. All developers are expected to abide by our [zrl=[baseurl]/help/developer/covenant]code of conduct[/zrl]. We have developers from across the globe with different abilities and different cultural backgrounds and different levels of patience. Our primary rule is to respect others. Sometimes this is hard and sometimes we have very different opinions of how things should work, but if everybody makes an effort, we'll get along just fine. + +This document will help you get started learning and contributing to $Projectname. + +[h3]Versions and Releases[/h3] + +$Projectname currently uses a standard version numbering sequence of $x.$y(.$z), for instance '1.12' or '1.12.1'. The first digit is the major version number. Major versions are released "roughly" once per year; often in December. + +The second digit is the minor release number. If this number is odd, it is a development version. If the number is even, it is a released version. Minor versions are released (moved from dev to master) typically once per month when development is 'stable', but this is likely to increase. Going forward minor releases will be made somewhere between one and three months; corresponding to a stable code point and when there is general community consensus that the current code base is stable enough to consider a release. + +The final digit is an interface or patch designator. + +The release process involves changing the version number (by definition the minor version number will be odd, and the minor number will be incremented). Once a year for a major release the major version will be incremented, and the minor number reset to 0. + +The release candidate is moved to a new branch; and testing will commence/continue for a period of 1-2 weeks afterward or until any significant issues have been resolved. This branch is usually labelled with RC (release candidate); for instance 1.8RC represents the pending release of version 1.8. At this time, the minor version number on the dev branch is incremented to the next odd number. (For instance 1.9). New development can then take place in the dev branch. + +Bug fixes should always be applied to 'dev' and from there merged forward (typically with git cherry-pick) to the RC branch and if necessary applied to the master or official release branch. + +At the time a release candidate is produced, the language strings file is frozen until a release is made. Translation work may continue, but all translations should be submitted to 'dev' and merged forward to RC. + +Once RC testing is completed, RC is merged to 'master' and the RC version designator removed; resulting in one final checkin to change the version number. The CHANGELOG file should also be updated at or just prior to this time. If there are merge conflicts during this final merge, the merge will be abandoned; and 'git merge -s ours' applied. This results in a replacement of master with the contents of the RC branch. Conflicts often arise with string updates which were made to master after the last release and cannot easily be resolved without hand editing. Since this is a release of tested code, hand editing is discouraged, and the replacement merge strategy should be used instead. It is assumed that RC now contains the most recent well-tested code. + +Once the release is live and merged to master, the RC branch may be removed. + +Fixes may be made to master after release. Where possible these should be made to dev and 'git cherry-pick' used to merge forward; which preserves the commit info and prevents merge conflicts in the next cycle. Only rarely does a patch only apply to the master branch. If necessary this can be made. If the change is severe, the interface version number should be incremented. This is at the discretion of the community. In any event, a 'git pull' of the master branch should always result in the latest release with any post-release patches applied. + +The interface number (the $z in $x.$y.$z) should be incremented in dev whenever a change is made which changes the interfaces or API in incompatible ways so that any external packages (especially addons and API clients) relying on a the current behaviour can discover and change their own interfaces accordingly at the point that it changed. + +[h3]Git repository branches[/h3] + +There are two official branches of the $Projectname git repo. +[list] +[*] The stable version is maintained on the [b]master[/b] branch.

Notify one of the core developers when you have a translation update which requires merging, or ask about merging it yourself if you're comfortable with git and PHP.

We will accept third-party code which falls under MIT, BSD and LGPL, but copyleft licensing (GPL, and AGPL) is only permitted in addons. It must be possible to completely remove the GPL (copyleft) code from the main project without breaking anything. - -**Concensus Building** - -Code changes which fix an obvious bug are pretty straight-forward. For instance if you click "Save" and the thing you're trying to save isn't saved, it's fairly obvious what the intended behaviour should be. Often when developing feature requests, it may affect large numbers of community members and it's possible that other members of the community won't agree with the need for the feature, or with your proposed implementation. They may not see something as a bug or a desirable feature. - -We encourage consensus building within the community when it comes to any feature which might be considered controversial or where there isn't unanimous decision that the proposed feature is the correct way to accomplish the task. The first place to pitch your ideas is to [url=https://zothub.com/channel/one]Channel One[/url]. Others may have some input or be able to point out facets of your concept which might be problematic in our environment. But also, you may encounter opposition to your plan. This doesn't mean you should stop and/or ignore the feature. Listen to the concerns of others and try and work through any implementation issues. - -There are places where opposition cannot be resolved. In these cases, please consider making your feature **optional** or non-default behaviour that must be specifically enabled. This technique can often be used when a feature has significant but less than unanimous support. Those who desire the feature can turn it on and those who don't want it - will leave it turned off. - -If a feature uses other networks or websites and or is only seen as desirable by a small minority of the community, consider making the functionality available via an addon or plugin. Once again, those who don't desire the feature won't need to install it. Plugins are relatively easy to create and "hooks" can be easily added or modified if the current hooks do not do what is needed to allow your plugin to work. - - -**Coding Style** - -In the interests of consistency we adopt the following code styling. We may accept patches using other styles, but where possible please try to provide a consistent code style. We aren't going to argue or debate the merits of this style, and it is irrelevant what project 'xyz' uses. This is not project 'xyz'. This is a baseline to try and keep the code readable now and in the future. - -* All comments should be in English. - -* We use doxygen to generate documentation. This hasn't been consistently applied, but learning it and using it are highly encouraged. - -* Indentation is accomplished primarily with tabs using a tab-width of 4. - -* String concatenation and operators should be separated by whitespace. e.g. "$foo = $bar . 'abc';" instead of "$foo=$bar.'abc';" - -* Generally speaking, we use single quotes for string variables and double quotes for SQL statements. "Here documents" should be avoided. Sometimes using double quoted strings with variable replacement is the most efficient means of creating the string. In most cases, you should be using single quotes. - -* Use whitespace liberally to enhance readability. When creating arrays with many elements, we will often set one key/value pair per line, indented from the parent line appropriately. Lining up the assignment operators takes a bit more work, but also increases readability. - -* Generally speaking, opening braces go on the same line as the thing which opens the brace. They are the last character on the line. Closing braces are on a line by themselves. - -* Some functions take arguments in argc/argv style like main() in C or function args in bash or Perl. Urls are broken up within a module. e.g, given "http://example.com/module/arg1/arg2", then $this->argc will be 3 (integer) and $this->argv will contain: [0] => 'module', [1] => 'arg1', [2] => 'arg2'. There will always be one argument. If provided a naked domain URL, $this->argv[0] is set to "home".

-$Projectname has unlimited profiles. You may use different profiles to show different "sides of yourself" to different audiences. This is different to having different channels. Different channels allow for completely different sets of information. You may have a channel for yourself, a channel for your sports team, a channel for your website, or whatever else. A profile allows for finely graded "sides" of each channel. For example, your default public profile might say "Hello, I'm Fred, and I like laughing". You may show your close friends a profile that adds "and I also enjoy dwarf tossing".
-
-You always have a profile known as your "default" or "public" profile. This profile is always available to the general public and cannot be hidden (there may be rare exceptions on privately run or disconnected sites). You may, and probably should restrict the information you make available on your public profile.
-
-That said, if you want other friends to be able to find you, it helps to have the following information in your public profile...
-
-[ul][*]Your real name or at least a nickname everybody knows
-[*]A photo of you
-[*]Your location on the planet, at least to a country level.[/ul]
-
-In addition, if you'd like to meet people that share some general interests with you, please take a moment and add some "Keywords" to your profile. Such as "music, linux, photography" or whatever. You can add as many keywords as you like.
-
-To create an alternate profile, first go to [zrl=[baseurl]/settings/features]Settings > Additional Features[/zrl] and enable "Multiple Profiles" there, otherwise you won't have the ability to use more than just your default profile.
-
-Then select "Edit Profiles" from the menu of your $Projectname site. You may edit an existing profile, change the profile photo, add things to a profile or create a new profile. You may also create a "clone" of an existing profile if you only wish to change a few items but don't wish to enter all the information again. To do that, click on the profile you want to clone and choose "Clone this profile" there.
-
-In the list of your profiles, you can also choose the contacts who can see a specific profile. Just click on "Edit visibility" next to the profile in question (only available for the profiles that are not your default profile) and then click on user images to add them to or remove them from the group of people who can see this profile.
-
-Once a profile has been selected, when the person views your profile, they will see the private profile you have assigned. If they are not authenticated, they will see your public profile.
-
-There is a setting which allows you to publish your profile to a directory and ensure that it can be found by others. You can change this setting on the "Settings" page.
-
-If you do not wish to be found be people unless you give them your channel address, you may leave your profile unpublished.
-
-[b]Keywords and Directory Search[/b]
-
-On the directory page, you may search for people with published profiles. Currently, only the name field and the keywords are searched. You may also include such keywords in your default profile - which may be used to search for common interests with other members. Keywords are used in the channel suggestion tool and although they aren't visible in the directory, they are shown if people visit your profile page.
-
-On your Connnections page and in the directory there is a link to "Suggestions" or "Channel Suggestions", respectively. This will find channels who have matching and/or similar keywords. The more keywords you provide, the more relevant the search results that are returned. These are sorted by relevance.

Translation work may continue, but all translations should be submitted to 'dev' and merged forward to RC. - - -Once RC testing is completed, RC is merged to 'master' and the RC version designator removed; resulting in one final checkin to change the version number. The CHANGELOG file should also be updated at or just prior to this time. If there are merge conflicts during this final merge, the merge will be abandoned; and 'git merge -s ours' applied. This results in a replacement of master with the contents of the RC branch. Conflicts often arise with string updates which were made to master after the last release and cannot easily be resolved without hand editing. Since this is a release of tested code, hand editing is discouraged, and the replacement merge strategy should be used instead. It is assumed that RC now contains the most recent well-tested code. - -Once the release is live and merged to master, the RC branch may be removed. - -Fixes may be made to master after release. Where possible these should be made to dev and 'git cherry-pick' used to merge forward; which preserves the commit info and prevents merge conflicts in the next cycle. Only rarely does a patch only apply to the master branch. If necessary this can be made. If the change is severe, the interface version number should be incremented. This is at the discretion of the community. In any event, a 'git pull' of the master branch should always result in the latest release with any post-release patches applied. - -The interface number (the $z in $x.$y.$z) should be incremented in dev whenever a change is made which changes the interfaces or API in incompatible ways so that any external packages (especially addons and API clients) relying on a the current behaviour can discover and change their own interfaces accordingly at the point that it changed. - - - - - -

One of the configurations available at installation is to select a 'server role'. There are currently three server roles. We highly recommend that you use 'standard' unless you have special needs. - - -[h3]Basic[/h3] - -The 'basic' server role is designed to be relatively simple, and it doesn't present options or complicated features. The hub admin may configure additional features at a site level. This role is designed for simple social networking and social network federation. Many features which do not federate easily have been removed, including (and this is somewhat important) "nomadic identity". You may move a channel to or from a basic server, but you may not clone it. Once moved, it becomes read-only on the origination site. No updates of any kind will be provided. It is recommended that after the move, the original channel be deleted - as it is no longer useable. The data remains only in case there are issues making a copy of the data. - -This role is supported by the hubzilla community. - -[h3]Standard[/h3] - - -The 'standard' server role is recommended for most sites. All features of the software are available to everybody unless locked by the hub administrator. Some features will not federate easily with other networks, so there is often an increased support burden explaining why sharing events with Diaspora (for instance) presents a different experience on that network. Additionally any member can enable "advanced" or "expert" features, and these may be beyond their technical skill level. This may also result in an increased support burden. - -This role is supported by the hubzilla community. - -[h3]Pro[/h3] - -The 'pro' server role is primarily designed for communities which want to present a uniform experience and be relieved of many federation support issues. In this role there is [b]no federation with other networks[/b]. Additional features [b]may[/b] be provided, such as channel ratings, premium channels, and e-commerce. - -By default a channel may set a "techlevel" appropriate to their technical skill. Higher levels provide more features. Everybody starts with techlevel 0 (similar to the 'basic' role) where all complicated features are hidden from view. Increasing the techlevel provides more advanced or complex features. - -The hub admin may also lock individual channels or their entire site at a defined techlevel which provides an installation with a selection of advanced features consistent with the perceived technical skills of the members. For instance, a community for horse racing might have a different techlevel than a community for Linux kernel developers. - -This role is not supported by the hubzilla community.

-[li]Implement owned and exchangeable "things".[/li]
-[li]Family Account creation - using service classes (an account holder can create a certain number of sub-accounts which are all tied to their subscription - if the subscription lapses they all go away).[/li]

-In many cases some of the work has already been started and code exists so that you needn't start from scratch. Please contact one of the developer channels like Channel One (one@zothub.com) before embarking and we can tell you what we already have and provide some insights on how we envision these features fitting together.
