todo
The tilde.center (~center) project consists of three core elements:
- Decentralization
- Federation
- Home-brewed open source projects (HBOSP)
The "big picture" goal right now is to create the a decentralized tilde server that can be deployed across other servers to provide the same experience for it's users. To make this possible while keeping up with home-brewed open source projects, there is a lot to be done. That is where this repository comes in.
Below are projects or ideas for ~center projects along with users working on them, current status (todo, doing, done, inactive), and priority of the project (high, medium, low). If you are submitting an idea without wanting to take ownership of the project, specify the user(s) as "-". For project ideas with more than one user working on it, list the users in comma-separated format (e.g. if alice and bob are working on the same project then "alice, bob" would be listed under Contributors).
Adding project ideas, enlistment to a project idea, or changing the status can be done through a pull request.
| Project / Idea | Contributors | Status | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| database | aewens | doing | medium-high |
| ldap-users | aewens | doing | high |
| dispatcher | - | todo | medium-high |
| safe-center | - | todo | low |

Use this space below to go into more detail about the specifics of the project. As well, if the project exists you can link to it's repository here.
database
The SQLite database and schemas that will be utilized by ~center.
ldap-users
OpenLDAP setup and user management tools for generating accounts that can later be distributed and utilized by other ~center services for single sign on (SSO) purposes (will need to be compatible with database).
dispatcher
TCP server to communicate with peer ~center servers for handling server federation and synchronizing data (will later need to adhere to RFC specifications agreed upon by users).
safe-center
Allows for users to share their local storage in exchange for utilizing part of the greater whole of shared storage in the ~center network.
concepts
A more detailed roadmap for the development of the ~center project along with general concepts for the ~center architecture.
governance
A decentralized system that requires decision making by an individual is not very decentralized. This will outline the governance model for ~center along with any scripts that will be used to assisting on voting on decisions across peer servers.
directory
To aid in the portability of deploying and distributing the setup of ~center servers, the bulk of it's files and directories will be stored under a /center directory.
skel
The default directories and files in user's $HOME for ~center
git-server
Currently, these projects are hosted on tildegit.org, but this is a project operated outside of the ~center project. The git-server would be a HBOSP that can authenticate against the LDAP database and work with the existing git command.
wiki
Given the nature of the project, having a place to assist in on-loading new users and future explanations of projects, goals, tutorials, etc would be very useful and needed.
motd
Scripts that handle the message of the day for the server
intranet
Adds local_html to $HOME for users to write to a network only viewable from the server and not exposed outside the network. Presumably for ~center-centric documents and web pages.
search-engine
A search engine you can trust because it is home-made by your fellow users, not something run by a company wanting to harvest your data for who knows what. Should also have a version for the intranet project.
