You don't have +to deal with half a zillion incompatible (and in the case of the wiki, +down) services, run by guys who may not even be on the AnoNet tomorrow. + +=item No arbitrary rules + +If you read the advertising for AnoNet, you probably think it's whatever +you make of it. Sadly, there's a tiny handful of people who have control +over most of the network, and make new (unwritten) rules whenever the +mood strikes them. The sum of those rules is that AnoNet is whatever +I<they> make of it. In version 2, we've undertaken to fix that, by both +technical and administrative means. + +=back + +=head2 How to Join + +Joining is pretty simple: If you know how to connect to a +client port, UFO's CP (L<http://ix.ucis.nl/clientport.php> or +L<http://www.qontrol.nl/anonet-cp.tgz>) will already land you in +the right place. (Once you're online, you can join "the club" at +1.3.3.7:6667 #anonet, or irc.somerandomnick.ano:6667 #RendezVous. If +you don't have an IRC client handy (or if you're too lazy to set +it up to avoid leaking your real info), you can just telnet over to +irc.somerandomnick.ano port 2323. Alternatively, you can point your +Jabber client over to irc.somerandomnick.ano, or you can even use Jabber +s2s to talk with everybody else by just joining the MUC room RendezVouz +at irc.somerandomnick.ano.) If OpenVPN is all Greek to you, UFO's IRC +server is also reachable from the public Internet (irc.kwaaknet.org port +6667 channel #anonet). If IRC is all Greek to you, you may want to talk +to your favorite search engine about that, or just use KwaakNet's Webchat +(L<http://webchat.kwaaknet.org/?c=AnoNet>). (Note that if your only aim in +joining AnoNet is to search Google anonymously, you can save yourself the +hassle by just heading over to Scroogle (L<http://www.scroogle.org/>).) + +=head2 Why to Join + +(Note: There's now a separate page (L<http://www.anonet2.org/links.html>) +with links to many more reasons to join AnoNet.) + +You'd want to join AnoNet2 for the same reasons as you'd want to join +AnoNet1: to exercise your freedom of speech and action, without having +to worry too much about people who don't like you making too many +connections between your online and offline identities. Unlike AnoNet1, +we're not nazis about our rules, so if you don't feel the need to conceal +your real-life identity, we won't get all mad at you. Just please be +considerate of those who would like to stay anonymous ("pseudonomous," +technically), and everybody is happy. + +A secondary reason for joining is to gain an opportunity to experiment +with internet technologies without breaking "the real thing." While +that's not the purpose behind AnoNet, it seems to be a common reason +for joining, and as long as you don't break too much with your fun, +you're more than welcome to have your fun here. + +You may want to join for the social scene (we even have our own social +network, although nobody uses it for what should be obvious reasons), +or you may want to create your own social scene. Again, you're not +looking at an "official" reason for joining, but nobody owns AnoNet, so +"official" is an artificial term 'round here. + +Finally, you may be getting a bit nervous at the amount of regulation +piling up around the world against the public Internet. Since the "public" +Internet is owned and managed by a number of multinational corporations, +it's fairly easy for governments to regulate it. Part of the main +purpose behind AnoNet has always been to get away from those private +control points, in order to create a truly public internet. In AnoNet1, +anybody who can regulate crzydmnd can regulate AnoNet's "official" +wiki (and by extension, its resource "database"), and anybody who can +regulate Kaos can regulate AnoNet's "official" client port (and by +extension, all new AnoNet users), so the private control point problem +hasn't quite been solved there. AnoNet2 is still largely controlled by +UFO and somerandomnick, but we have both technical and administrative +measures in place to ensure that as the network grows, the two of us +will no longer have enough control to destroy the network, even if our +own governments ever decide to try regulating us. + +=head2 Why Not to Join + +If you're looking for a ready-made community, where you just show up and +"browse," AnoNet (either 1 or 2) is probably not what you're after. +The whole concept behind AnoNet is that it's whatever you make it. +That's not to say you'll have to build everything from scratch (and +in fact, it's a bit too late for that, unless you want to I<re>build +stuff that others have already built, and if you can do better than the +original, people will probably switch to your version), but if you want +to be happy here, you're best off bringing your creativity along rather +than leaving it behind when you join. + +=head2 What You Can Do + +Since AnoNet uses the same protocols as the public Internet, anything +that's possible on the public Internet is theoretically possible on +AnoNet. In practice, we don't have anything that nobody bothered to +provide on AnoNet. + +Here's a list of things you can currently do on AnoNet2 (i.e., without +having to set anything up yourself): + +=over + +=item * + +DNS (1.0.27.38) + +=item * + +IRC (L<irc://1.3.3.7/anonet> or L<irc://irc.somerandomnick.ano/RendezVous>) + +=item * + +Jabber (irc.somerandomnick.ano) + +=item * + +Web + +=item * + +PSYC (psyced: IRC, Jabber, social networking, "twittering," newsgroups, etc.) (irc.somerandomnick.ano) + +=item * + +git (including a decentralized "wiki" replacement) (L<git://git1.somerandomnick.ano/> and possibly other feeds) + +=back + +Here's a list of things that somebody claims to be working on: + +=over + +=item * + +email + +=item * + +news (NNTP) + +=item * + +outbound HTTP proxy to the public Internet + +=back + +If you want something that's not on either list, you'll either have to +set it up yourself, or con somebody else into setting it up himself.
