Webconverger design document
Goals and principles
Simplicity & Security
- No users - no superuser
- Stability & security of open source - based on GNU/Linux Debian releases
- No local user data - Locked down browser kiosk - for example no functionality to save bookmarks locally
- Zero maintenance - Automatic upgrades
- Less is more - Minimal packages for just the Web experience (though that includes Adobe flash and pdf support), though no KDE/GNOME bloat
- Excellent i18n support
- Committed to user’s privacy and security
- (Long term) Universal commitment to all devices - Webconverger could be deployed anywhere from an office terminal to a mobile phone
