given:

  • surging interest in digital autonomy more generally
  • dependence on the open-source community to build upon the project's innovations long-term

i propose amending the project so as to:

  • better emphasize data portability goal
  • increase supported applications
  • emphasize hosting vertical over public organizations, depending on NORDUnet plans

i expect these changes benefit:

  • the EC, for better addressing today's concerns
  • end-users, by better taking into account actual demand
  • the open-source community, given additional sample implementations to expand on and learn from

closes fediversity/fediversity#39.

### Host architecture
Whereas the core abstraction in Fediversity is a NixOS configuration module, a more full-fledged example architecture of the web host use-case we aim to support as part of our exploitation would be as follows, where VMs in question run Fediversity to offer our selected applications:

Whereas the core abstraction in Fediversity is a NixOS configuration module, a more full-fledged example architecture of the web host use-case we aim to support would be as follows. VMs in question run Fediversity to offer our supported applications. The diagram shows an example of how different components could be fit together, based on what Fediversity offers as a framework (note that this would depend on the respective services and host-facing backends to be implemented appropriately):

kiara marked this conversation as resolved 
who ever owns the budget needs to decide on the target audience for
communication. very likely the current technical scope will be primarily
interesting for developers (somewhat familiar, ideally proficient with
Nix), i.e. integrators that would use Fediversity as a library for their
hosting product. the UI demo would merely show the principle, but from
the current state of affairs it's unlikely we'll be able to "sell" it as
a turn-key solution to non-experts.

this is an implementation detail since the project scope is adjusted to
provide a framework. also too early to talk about that here, there's
a section in the architecture document for sample applications.

Seems like the nix-build -A pdf thing got lost in cherry- and nit-picks?

was it ever tested? on my end it just errored out on images requiring network access, at which point i considered it not usable as-is

I think this achieves the goal of clarification and increased focus.
