Now that Principia is an open source project, you can build it from source to target any device possible within our supported platforms, or port it to a new platform.

A while ago I ported Principia to Haiku OS. The support code is still in the main repository and there's a link to the compilation instructions on the download page, but I haven't tested if it still works in a while.

As Haiku OS supports OpenGL and has GTK3 available, the port is more or less fully features, barring some minor platform-specific code that hasn't been implemented and would need someone more familiar with Haiku OS to implement.

These forums effectively run a custom software at this point, so it would need someone to implement it. But I do not feel the desire to implement the ability to upload files directly to the site, I would rather skip the hassle of dealing with that.

You can embed images from other sites here, but principia-web employs a CSP for security reasons that restricts what domains a browser will connect to. Currently Github and Imgur are part of the image whitelist, but I can add others such as Postimages upon request. To embed an image, you use typical Markdown syntax, like such:

apparatus-web has been decommissioned for a while now due to inactivity. A full dump of the levels and database with sensitive data excluded have been published to the Internet Archive.

Open source does not mean no cost. In addition to this it also costs money to upkeep the server, which is the reason for the donation banner in the footer. The cheatsheet was an idea from me to offer a nice product that gives you the convenience of a summary of the LuaScript API for a small sum of money that goes towards server costs for the project.

I had thought that after enough sales I would release the sources to the cheatsheet (it was designed in HTML/CSS and converted to PDF with Weasyprint, fun fact), but at this rate that seems unlikely. A total of 0 people have purchased it, so I guess it wasn't something people are interested in.

Nothing is planned, there is no release date, there is no roadmap. Realistically there won't be a new version anytime soon as things are looking right now, but if there will be it will be whatever gets merged into the Principia repository. The Changelog usually has a section for a "201X.XX.XX" version which lists all changes that have been made in master since the last release and is what you'll get when you run the nightly builds.

Going to such an event has always been an interesting idea in the back of my head but I don't really have the financial means to get to FOSDEM.

As for a Principia stand I assume we're not popular enough to get one either, looking at the kinds of projects that got one last year. There would also need to be at least two people responsible for the stand and I'm just one person, even if I was able to go and they would otherwise accept a stand for Principia. I don't think it would be possible.

Considering I don't receive enough donations to cover server costs I haven't even considered doing a fundraiser to ask for anything more superfluous. And there is no "another developer" here right now, it's basically just me. The second person responsible could just be any community member who is close by and is interested, but I don't know if there are any.

In general, I don't think we're very well prepared or have the resources to attend, whether it be me personally or running a Principia stand. But maybe that will change for a future year.
