                    It's easy. Click the sign-up button, then click Create in the corner, give it a name, and you're all
                    set.

                    No, using the service is allowed without registering. However, to post your own material, as well as
                    to contribute to other projects, you need an account to identify you.

                <p>
                    Not at all. We do not log analytics or actions, and all you need to make an account is a username
                    (which can be fictional) and a password.

            <dd>
                <p>
                    The service is primarily targeted at enthusiasts
                    (the modern version of <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture">hackers</a> but not security
                    breakers!), and while we will optimise for corporate use, large free software projects and even just
                    personal file storage as well, as an enthusiast myself I try to make it better for my use.

            <dd>
                <p>
                    Anything, as long as it's free software. <i>Free</i> means all users should have the
                    <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.en#four-freedoms">Four Freedoms</a>.
                    It does not mean everyone has to be a user, so private projects are <strong>allowed</strong>,
                    but if it's private you may not share it without giving these Four Freedoms.
                </p>
                <p>
                    <b>In short &mdash; either you share freely, or you don't share.</b>
                </p>
                <p>
                    Additionally, projects designed to operate with nonfree programs or that depend on nonfree libraries
                    are generally allowed, but keep in mind they are useless in the Free World. However, it is advisable
                    to share them, so others could change them to remove the nonfree dependency. It is recommended to
                    add a disclaimer to the top of an important document, just so others won't get too excited about it
                    and realise it's not for them.
                </p>
                <p>
                    “Source-available” projects that don't respect the Four Freedoms are considered nonfree and banned
                    from this site.
                </p>
                <p>
                    Using this site as a discussion forum for nonfree software is also not allowed, unless it's for
                    a collaborative effort to reverse-engineer it. Forums for more general topics, as well as free
                    software, are allowed though.
                </p>
                <p>
                    Moreover, all <em>public</em> material shared here must be appropriate for all ages and not contain
                    any illegal, pornographic, sexual, political, terrorist or other inappropriate material. Mild
                    swearing is allowed, but it must not be used to refer to sex.
                </p>
                <p>
                    For private material though, we have no business as long as you're not abusing the site by hosting
                    illegal content or overloading the server.
                </p>
                <p>
                    Nonfree <em>artistic, non-functional</em> works are also fine, but due to the nature of the service, the
                    nonfree terms will not be enforced.

                <p>
                    Currently, it is zero-price, besides being free software. However, we may start charging for some
                    features in the future, but <strong>only for those that cost us</strong>, and not for the features
                    we already have, assuming a normal usage. We will not put stupid limits such as three collaborators
                    per repository for free accounts, as more doesn't cost us anything.
                </p>
                <p>
                    Advertisements may also get added, but they will be only for logged-out users, and won't use
                    JavaScript or animation, most importantly they won't track you either.

                    Currently, it's a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) running Debian, Nginx, Gunicorn and Python with Flask, on top
                    of Postgres and Redis.

                <p>
                    Mailing lists aren't currently supported, but it would be a nice feature, so we're working on it.

            <dt><h2>Is SSH supported?</h2></dt>
            <dd>
                <p>
                    Not currently. While SSH is used in many workflows, we currently only support the Git Smart HTTP
                    protocol including with SSL. It does everything Git SSH does. We encourage you to try it, and let us
                    know if SSH is still important to you.
                </p>
                <p>
                    We also do not support the <code>git://</code> or Dumb HTTP protocols as they are insecure and don't
                    have any authentication.

                <p>
                    The name is a play on the word <i>branch</i>, because a roundabout connects many branching roads.
                    It also aligns with our goals to become federated and support collaboration across instances, which
                    we'll call roundabouts.
                </p>
                <p>
                    The name is to always be treated like a common noun, so it uses regular capitalisation, articles and
                    plurals.
                </p>
            </dd>
            <dt><h2>What about that logo?</h2></dt>
            <dd>
                <p>
                    That is a roundabout sign design commonly used in Europe; it may not be familiar if you live on the
                    other side of the Atlantic.
                </p>
                <p>
                    It can also take other meanings, with blue being associated with stability and purity, the arrows
                    could also represent collaboration, a cycle of development and even code reuse and remixing due to
                    the resemblance to the recycling logo.
                </p>
                <p>
                    The logo is to be treated as public domain.
