Circumlunar Zaibatsu Software Forge ================================== In addition to functioning as a free gopher hosting provider, the Zaibatsu is also a small public access unix system. A defining characteristic of this system is that much of the software used by the members for social interaction and other purposes is developed by the members themselves, collaboratively and openly, on the system itself. While only senior members can install software system-wide, *any* user with shell access can clone the git repo for some tool on the system, fix bugs or add features, and request their code be pulled into the system-wide repo. All software developed at the Zaibatsu is Free Software. If you decide to start your own public access unix system, you can install our tools to get your community started quickly. The following software has been developed here: DIR fellowsh - Tool for multi-user system fellowship DIR gboard DIR gigof - scripts for setting up and managing git-gopher accounts DIR gitpher - Generates gopher front-ends to git repos DIR lander - Ultralight HTTP daemon, serves a single hard-coded page DIR nago - shell script providing a simple command-line based Gopher client DIR odlli DIR schat - small/simple command line chat for local users DIR sharem - scripts for correctly setting permissions for sharing DIR spacelaunch - A multi-user take on the classic Unix steam locomotive (sl) prank.
