1 # Bitreich Branches
2
3 Bitreich has several branches which represent ideas of the current time
4 where the to be done work to change the software around us can be cate‐
5 gorized to a certain or certain tasks. New branches can be created just
6 by your work on them. Please try to collect them to have at least an in‐
7 dex.
8
9 ## New Applications
10 * This branch can be abstracted further, when more software is produced.
11 * Write new applications.
12 * The first goal is to change existing software. If not possible, re‐
13 write as simple as possible.
14
15 ## Graphical Interface
16 * Work on new graphical interface ideas.
17 * see tabbed(1)
18 * see dwm(1)
19 * see dmenu(1)
20 * Try to get existing graphical interfaces or toolkits to use the new
21 metaphors for the sake of our sanity. WIMP is dead.
22
23 ## Abstractions
24
25 Most libraries tend to be written in complex ugly programming languages,
26 but they do their task well. The basic fact that the solutions are writ‐
27 ten in ugly complex programming languages forces some other programmer
28 to rewrite a solution or some algorithm.
29
30 * Write commandline interfaces for ugly abstracted software.
31
32 ## Ugly World
33
34 Big applications like for example libreoffice are enforced into our life
35 by public request. Easier access is needed to the ugly world.
36
37 * Collect or write small utilities, polish them and give examples in how
38 to access the ugly world out there in an easy way using the commandline.
39
40 ## Code Cleanup
41
42 There is software out there which was written by some hobbyist but it
43 does a very good job.
44
45 * Collect small application, polish them and make them reusable.
46
47 Other software is really big but only got big by applying metaphors from
48 university which were never really understood but are annoying our life
49 just by their existence.
50
51 * Find software you daily use, find ugly for example object abstractions
52 and remove them using a good functional style. Then try to get the
53 patches into mainline.
54
55 ## Protocols
56
57 New protocols are introduced to solve problems which have already been
58 solved by simpler protocols.
59
60 * Get people to use simple protocols by refurbishing old clients, writ‐
61 ing new software for the protocols and educating the world.
62 * see IRC
63 * see gopher
64 * see SSH and kiosk
65 * see sfeed for news
66 * gopher for radio streaming
67
68 ## Memes and Fun
69
70 Online culture is an important way to get people into a project. By
71 having fun and people benefiting from joining the project, even in a
72 simple way of a laugh, will grow Bitreich.
73
74 * see annna and the memecache.
75 * see bitreich cooking for daily cooking news
76 * see various side projects
77 * Bithub for intellectual porn
78 * Bitreich TV for memes on stream
79 * annna for meme management
80 * memecache for meme economics
81 * see Day Of The GrParazyd (DOTG) for a game
82 * see ECTS credit programme for free
83 * get your meme degress
84 * see data offence anonymous meeting group
85 * join the friendless anti-social network
86 * become part of the snowmen programme for no benefits
87 * we are best at forgeperf
88 * see your future
89 * get a random joke
90 * watch vt100 movies
