Philosophy

  • Keep Aphrodite and all official components(projects created and maintained by the Aphrodite team) free software (tl;dr for the link: Free software is software where the users have control to do pretty much whatever they want with it; think of the "free" in "free software" as in "free speech," not as in "free snacks.")
  • Prevent something like what happened to GNU/Linux from happening to whatever the main software distribution ends up being.
  • Try to prevent memory safety bugs and other bugs that leak data from ever happening (using Rust helps with this).
  • Prevent relying on archaic behaviour, however support somewhat old computers.
  • NEVER charge money for any official component of Aphrodite.
  • Rebase, not merge. Merge commits clutter repos; rebasing doesn't.
