The page is mostly meant to be descriptive, not prescriptive, but part of its purpose is to standardize. Then I looked at our Social Contract[1], and noticed that it is not consistent with our nomenclature. Following is my proposal for a new version of the Social Contract. The format is Markdown. MediaWiki's wiki-text sucks for email. I've made it about the "Parabola project", not "Parabola GNU/Linux", and done some copy-editing type bits. Notes: * I use "Free Software", not "free software", and "Free" instead of "free" when appropriate. * The exception to the above is the phrase "non-free". Other changes I think we should consider: * I think that for the purpose of this document, we should normalize between "Free" and "libre". * We should add a bit about the Free Culture movement, which we sort-of also support, to formalize our stance on that.

Oh, ok. I agree with that. I think. Now I'm actually questioning how much I agree with item 4. To break it down: 4. **Parabola and Arch Linux**: a. Parabola will produce an operating system that is a Free version of [Arch Linux][3]. b. We provide repositories and installation images without any non-free software. c. We respect Arch's KISS philosophy (Keep It Simple, Stupid) d. and its development process. e. In that sense, Parabola will always maintain retro compatibility with Arch Linux so as to help Free already working installations. I'm concerned with items d and e. I'm confused what "In that sense," means in item e. I'm also confused by item d--how much do we follow their development process now? * We use libretools' libremakepkg instead of devtools' archbuild * We have almost none of the workflow integration between the repos and the PKGBUILD tracker. (though I'm working on that) * We have none of the access control, wrt which hackers can publish where. * We have none of the review process before packages end up in the main repos. And honestly, I think that all but the first of these are things we could work on. And all of this differs for the derivatives. Arch Hurd seems pretty similar to Parabola GNU/Linux in that regard, but Arch Linux ARM has a fairly different process. If we ended up with an ARM port, would we have to adopt the Plug distributed build system? Not that that would necessarily be a bad idea, but should that really be part of the social contract? I think we should ditch mentioning the development process, and instead focus on the resulting software. Perhaps: 4. We will produce an operating system that is a Free version of [Arch Linux][3], and possibly other Arch-based systems. We will provide repositories and installation media without any non-free software. All Parabola operating systems will be backward compatible with the system they are based on, as to help Free already working installations. We will respect the design philosophies of the systems ours are based on, to reduce friction from both developer and user viewpoints.
