 The AniNIX is not a collection of one-offs. The following considerations should be evaluated before testing or releasing a new project, and quality assurance should report if any of these design principles aren't met.

 Any design should be evaluated against the need it is intended to meet. Ask the following questions:

-##  Remote Access vs. Local Only 
+##  Remote Access vs. Local Only
 Remote access isn't needed in all cases and opens the network to vulnerabilities. The CryptoWorkbench in the Foundation doesn't need to be remotely accessible when users can deploy their own with git; the Foundation itself doesn't need to allow the world to write to it to allow cooperation. These kinds of projects, that are either read-only or non-deliverable, can be safely monitored with [filesystem intrusion detection](../Services/Cerberus.md), virus scanning, and existing controls over remote access to the host.
 
 [SSH](../Services/SSH.md) and [IRC](../Services/IRC.md) do allow remote access, and require additional safeguards to those above. Network intrusion detection becomes a need, since this is a means by which attackers can exploit a service. Firewall rules will need to be opened and monitored.
 
-##  Penetration Testing Planning Before Release 
+##  Penetration Testing Planning Before Release
 Identify a plan and set aside resources to test the project before release. Failed attempts at open chroot accounts on [Core](../Entities/Core.md) have been identified and shut down before being generally released; these kinds of attempts allow the AniNIX to have confidence in the released projects while not stifling the developer's ideas. Failed ideas that are insufficiently secured are a good exercise in development, and they can be tabled for later when better controls or designs are available.
 
-##  Appropriate User Rights 
+##  Appropriate User Rights
 Running services as root is generally a bad idea for non-security services. Make sure to have a unprivileged account for any other service, particularly if they allow remote access.
 
-##  Physical Access 
+##  Physical Access
 The AniNIX does not believe in the cloud (or, as it is affectionately known, Computers Living On Unknown Datacenters). Cloud computing centralizes storage in a place that is difficult if not impossible for end users to secure and protect; particularly for sensitive information like social security numbers, this is not acceptable. Redundancy of the cloud is also very expensive and hard for small groups to achieve.
 
 In contrast, if any given user can replicate shared data from the AniNIX and each other on storage that they monitor and secure, the network becomes harder to destroy, impede, or rob. This decentralized model ensures that users know where their data lives, and any given user can stand up the network.
 
 For services that are hosting information like passwords, the device should be physically secured and the storage encrypted. While they can be made useless by destruction, this should prevent physical access resulting in an immediate compromise.
 
-##  Privacy 
+##  Privacy
 Guarantees of privacy are a major concern in designs. The AniNIX needs to be able to protect itself while doing its best to provide the same right to others. This ties in with concerns of Remote Access -- remote access that isn't by read-only transport requires an account which can be paired with an individual. This should be used for collaboration with the network and for maintaining user preferences.
 
-However, tools like documentation and source code should be available from behind privacy tools and without identifying a user. When governments can outlaw information, as many repressive regimes in the Middle East and elsewhere have done, the AniNIX seeks to make sure that the peopke still have power by information.

-Furthermore, any communication across a wwider network should be encrypted. [WebServer](../Services/WebServer.md) controls most of this via the Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for the web apps, but SSH also encrypts its communication. Unencrypted communication is insecure and not private by default and should be prohibited as much as possible.

 Services developed in isolation are interesting exercises, but in the end it is the user's comfort and trust in the service that will keep it being used.
 
-##  Reliability and Stability 
+##  Reliability and Stability
 Physical devices should have redundant components and power sources as much as possible. Protections against failures in services, such as frequently saving state and quickly restarting after a failure, are highly encouraged.
 
 Projects should crash rarely if ever -- any crash should be investigated immediately and the relevant code revisited. Frequent crashes are perhaps the highest cause of end-user dissatisfaction.
 
-##  Performance 
+##  Performance
 
 Performance is second only to stability in terms of the end-user experience. Services should be fast and light to meet the needs of users -- the state of development today doesn't tolerate slow and/or intensive processes for all but the most critical projects.
 
 Ensure that memory is allocated only when needed and deallocated as soon as possible. Processing should use efficient algorithms to meet the goal and should be open to re-evaluation. Network should minimize the use of images in transport -- X11 forwarding and video streaming should only be used in services that the user expects to be noncritical and potentially slow.

-The AniNIX attaches a unique name, such as Sora for OpenLDAP or Yggdrasil for Emby, to packages and services it instantiates. The reason for this is that the name defines a scope of functionality the AniNIX expects to rely on -- should the underlying package change, such as replacing Plex Media Server with Emby, documenation and AniNIX packages will use the same name.

 Names given should be chosen for relevance to the function being provided (Singularity being a pull service, Foundation being the basis on which we're built, etc.) and for ease of memory. Only the most basic services, such as IRC, WebServer, and SSH, will be left unnamed.
 
-These names are not intended to supercede the licensing or attribution of other packages -- applications, once installed, should only update the minimal allowable elements to be usable under AniNIX principles. Whereever possible, this should be done via the application's provided interface, such as enabling dark modes. We also should not remove any links that the application provides to its own documentation, licensing, or websites. This means that AniNIX etymology only applies to administrators and is otherwise invisible to end users.

+1. Cyber-themed science fiction with moral human protagonists
+    1. This last is the most complicated but most fun category.

 Make sure that a project can be easily maintained. This means following the Development Best Practices and submitting Markdown documentation for the project.
 
 Ensure that projects are configurable for key elements, particularly for things like passwords that change often, and they should use well-known and understood languages per the Development Best Practices.
