Frequently Asked Questions
(a.k.a. FAQs) about Tunes.
Here are partial answers to these questions.
Tunes means Tunes is a Useful, Not Expedient, System. It is a project to provide both design and implemention of a computing system, based upon a paradigm of total computing freedom.
Its scope is the whole computing world; it aims at absolutely all
kinds of users (we make no arbitrary racial or other distinction among them),
from newbies to gurus, humans or machines, and all kinds of computing,
professional, amateur or leisure.
Its approach is based on a permanent, serious, deep reflection about how
the computing world could be, how it should be, and why it should be so.
Since the project is in an early development stage, we're currently
looking for the guru (or would-be guru) type of collaborator.
Don't be modest; if you're ready to work, you can easily become a guru.
The project is currently not funded, and lives on the spare time of its
collaborators.
The project is divided recursively into subprojects each having its own maintainer, according to the Tunes Charter. This page is the root project of the above hierarchy.
