Alt-culture, installers and tails of meta-data

This will be a strange hybrid of alt-project and bureaucratic project thus it is essential that these two opposites don’t spend all the time fighting. They are different ways of doing things!

links about the culture the project came from:

http://www.godhaven.org.uk/aboutgh.html
http://www.chaos-works.com/ch28.html
http://www.tomrobinson.com/work/klf.htm

Would be good if some one could add links to mainstream ways of doing things:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

http://flag.blackened.net/revolt/hist_texts/structurelessness.html

As this is a project of "gluing" existing apps together the installer will be a key part of the project to seamlessly install and configure the different appes.
