What uXu is
uXu
Public archive commons — the site, the repo, and the installable app. Independent archives keep their own voice. Nobody takes your collection away.
0?0
Root archive interface inside uXu — the console for registry, manuals, and navigation. A tool for looking things up and opening doors — not the community brand.
iNi
Opt-in provenance practice — “I and I.” Document origin, authorship, lineage, and custody. A name, a protocol, and a community boundary defined by honesty, not membership theater.
Practice provenance together
iNi is a name, a protocol, and a community boundary — an “I and I” practice for origin, authorship, lineage, and custody. Not a company label. Not required to use uXu.

How to practice iNi
Joining means adopting the protocol — not earning a badge. You do not need this page to opt in.
On 0?0: open the commons, then Quick Nav → iNi Provenance (or type INI).
In your archive: fill origin, authors, custody, lineage, conditions, attestedAt · set uxu.ini.optIn: true · tag iNi when that documentation is real and maintained · keep it honest and current.
Self-attestation only. Registry cues signal honesty, not enforcement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is iNi?
iNi is a name, a protocol, and a community boundary — an “I and I” practice for origin, authorship, lineage, and custody. Not a company label. Not required to use uXu.
What is uXu?
uXu is the public archive commons — a shared place to find and keep independent archives. It’s the site, the repo, and an installable app. Your collection stays yours; uXu helps it stay findable.
What is 0?0 ?
0?0 is the root archive interface inside uXu — the console where you browse the registry, open manuals, and run commands. It’s a tool for navigating the commons, not the name of the community. iNi Provenance lives there under Quick Nav (or type INI).
What is /qtp_[devo]?
An open-source steward signal beside this practice — not administration of iNi. iNi remains community by honesty.
How do I opt in without this website?
Start at the uXu commons: https://rasvibir.github.io/uXu/
That opens 0?0, the archive console. Use Quick Nav → iNi Provenance (or type INI).
From there, follow the guide: document origin, authorship, lineage, and custody on your archive, then opt in when that documentation is real and maintained. It’s self-attestation — honesty, not a membership badge.
