+[01] WHAT IS PROJECT TWENEX?  HOW CAN I BECOME INVOLVED?
+     Project TWENEX is a microcosm of the Free Software Movement and is
+     comprised wholey of SDF members.  The idea is to create a central
+     catalogue of software for use on SDF and other systems.  While
+     there are no platform restrictions, it is required that all software
+     is free of the restrictions of Open Source and other licenses.
+     Why TWENEX? Because this is about HACKING and TWENEX (as well as
+     other systems and the communities built around them) were always
+     about HACKING.  Its meant to be used reverently, with respect
+     to those who worked on the PDP-8, PDP-10, Multics, LISPM(s) and
+     other interesting computers.  It is also meant as a history lesson
+     to show the misguided that real HACKERS care about people and do
+     not participate in criminal or malicious activities.
+     You can become involved by writing free software.  If you are a
+     MetaARPA member on SDF, you can install your own software in the
+     appropriate directories so all users can benefit.  If you don't
+     program so well, you can participate by critiquing software from
+     a user's point of view.
+     For now, the official site is http://twenex.net.  This is the portal
+     to the catalogue, source and comments.  As well, all software
+     associated with the project is kept in /sys/sdf.  There is a BBOARD
+     named 'TWENEX' for members to communicate and make announcements.
