A Draft home page for the domain of that name; I've just opened a bid on the name.

This page is a statement of principles, a plan from the present to the future of a shared resource.

• implemented in the bash shell
• using awk as the relational engine
• with developers collaborating on a [github REPO, applemcg/RDB]
• open to modern language python , go, ... implementation
