   * **DRY:** The shortform for **Don't Repeat Yourself** means that we avoid maintenance many redundant dependencies within our system itself. This principle is a best practice in software development that recommends software engineers to do something once, and only once.   * **DRY:** The shortform for **Don't Repeat Yourself** means that we avoid maintenance many redundant dependencies within our system itself.

 +Hyperbola is oriented to motivate its users to be also their own developers and to understand every aspect of their installed system. With this thought we also do not motivate users to await full-time support but to work active with solving issues when found. So we are not oriented on having someone solving issues for everyone else, but everyone is working with everyone else to solve issues.

 +Yes, all the work is done from volunteers and we are not able to pay anyone for support done. But we think also that this is of a greater interest: Having a free and libre system working always onwards the interest of its user, not for someone else. We think that people should be always in command and decision what their installed software is doing, transparent and open to see. And this is a goal being worthwhile, so also for every volunteer giving time and helping hands. This is for us and for you meant also as common and individual interest at the same time. This means also that it should never come to a point where an individual volunteering person is under so much pressure that this person is going to break down. We do not tolerate demands and questions endless from people demanding attention for their personal issues. We await that all parts of the community and within the team also have a generic understatement about "working together". If this understatement is comparable to pure exploitation we will react immediately as we have no understatement to tolerate mistreatment of individuals or whole groups.

 We do not want to make a difference between "users" and "developers", especially not harsh cutouts in any way. Every "user" can also be a "developer" at any point, supporting others with insights and information. Sure, if you just want to "use" Hyperbola as your operating-system this is your choice made. But demanding from anyone else that to grant support does not work out. If we recognize that individuals are not giving more back and demand endless support, we will also react in a comparable way: Noting that we do no longer grant support with answering especially when questions are clearly to be solved with reading throughout the wiki-articles. That is ignorance for protection as Hyperbola is living from its community-effort, people coming together to build something and help each other. Mistreating this is in our perspective a clear violation towards kindness and respect. We do not want to make a difference between "users" and "developers", especially not harsh cutouts in any way.

-At the point Hyperbola was installed it is and will be your own system and you are responsible for running it, not anyone else. The software here included is granted under clear free, libre licensing, so you are the same way taken to acknowledge this. Awaiting something you may get from non-free but also harsh paid software is not a way forward.+At the point Hyperbola was installed it is and will be your own system and you are responsible for running it, not anyone else. The software here included is granted under clear free, libre licensing, so you are the same way taken to acknowledge this. Awaiting something you may get from non-free but also harsh paid software is not a way forward. This software was and is done under complete different modalities. Free, libre software is working from the altruistic perspective: Someone is building something others may find good and support with time and own money. The same way forward Hyperbola is to be seen. If you like the system and project, you can always support it with your time, effort and money.

We wish you therefore to find a better suiting system-base.+If all those points are not working for you, Hyperbola is not the system you should take into perspective for usage.

 Hyperbola is an independent system, no fork from others. Therefore we also kindly ask not to compare Hyperbola with others in perspectives on offered software for example. Searching for problems and issues is a complete different point, but likewise the comparisons of other projects is most time complicated or not possible the same points also work for Hyperbola. Hyperbola is an independent system, no fork from others.
