  Welcome to the etherpad-lite instance hosted by Varia! 
  You are most welcome to use it but please take note of the following things: 
  
  VISIBILITY:
  - The pads are not indexed by search engines, but anyone that knows its URL is welcome to read and edit it.
  
  PRIVACY: 
  - The contents of the pads are not encrypted, meaning that they are not private. 
  - Anyone with access to the server has the possibility to see the content of your pads. 
  
  RETENTION:
  - We make our own backups, meaning the the contents of all pads sit on our harddrives potentially indefinitely.
  - Because the identity of a pad author cannot be confirmed, we don't respond to pad retrieval requests.
  
  ACCESSIBILITY:
  - If you rely on the content of these pads, please remember to make your own backups.
  - The availability of the pads is subject to cosmic events, spilled drinks and personal energies.
  
  If you wish to publish a pad to the Varia etherdump < https://etherdump.vvvvvvaria.org/ > add the magic word __ PUBLISH __ (remove the spaces between the word and __) to your pad.

# Tools

<!-- there is also a README in the publication.tools folder with a short intro.... -->

To aid this publication , one tool was created and two existing tools got extended: Etherdump and Distribusi.

* Distribusi is used to integrate the photographs of Relearn 2017 into the publication. A command line photograph EXIF comment inserter was built to annotate photo files inside the files themselves . The tool also comes with a reader to go through the annotations in the terminal. < https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/EXIF-image-commenter >

* A n EXIF extension has been added to D istribusi that extracts the EXIF 'Comment' metadata before building web indexes based on the contents of a directory . This function is activated by the flag '-c' or '-captions'. The flag can be used in combination with '-nf' or '--no-filenames' which tells Distribusi not to include image filenames. < https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/distribusi >

* New pad - to - publication features were added to the E therdump software (on the publish-vs-nopublish branch) and were used to make this publication. They allow for *E therdumping * a selection of pads that include the ` __RELEARN__ ` magic word inside them. We used this occassion to fork etherdump into *Etherpump*, with the idea to stimulate further experimentation with pad-publishing within. You can find the fork and read more about it here: < https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/etherpump >.
