So, that's where we are today. Going forward, what I would like is for solid community to be run by the community, if that's possible. We've been going for two years and we'd like to go as long as possible. I created this repo to document some of these things and to provide support for users who were getting frustrated with being locked out of their pods
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not paid and have never been paid to work on solid. Those kindly helping with this repo are volunteers, and we could do with more help. The more volunteers we have the better we can help out users, and longer we can keep going

## Goals
|
|
|
|
|
|
So what would we like the ToS to convey
|
|
|
|
|
|
- We are community-owned and community-run and community administered
|
|
|
- User privacy is our core value
|
|
|
- We believe users have complete sovereignty and agency over their own data
|
|
|
- Our aim is to create stable, long-lived identities and long-lived storage space
|
|
|
- Ultimately our goal is to become self-sustaining, and provide a model for other communities
|
|
|
- We were created specifically to demo the node/JavaScript implementation (not go, not php, not typescript not any other language)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Budget and resources
|
|
|
So we are not 100% on a sustainable path right now, but our costs are low. I pay the cost to renew the domain. I also get a free SSL certificate from letsencrypt. We have a small relatively low-cost instance on digital ocean. So we are in survival mode this year. The larger cost is in terms of time with people helping to support and admin users, fix bugs, perform upgrades etc.

## Term of Services
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hopefully, we can use this information as a basis to create a ToS. Templates look great, but we should probably ask permission before reusing the text of others. Ultimately we would ourselves like to provide a template so that many other communities can host their own pods leading to a distributed system of pods for individuals and groups
