Aiki Framework is a PHP and MySQL (LAMP) web application framework that allows designers and programmers to create and work with existing content management systems from the web. [5] The Fabricatorz global production company [2] was its commercial steward and has used it to build Open Clip Art Library 3.0 [6] and the now public Open Font Library. [7] [8] Both sites using Aiki Framework were publicly announced at Libre Graphics Meeting 2011.

Status

The last release [9] of the software approximately coincided with the March 15, 2012 detainment in Syria of the technology's inventor, Bassel Khartabil. Aiki Framework was for a long time the underlying technology of the Open Clip Art Library and still is for Open Font Library, but the technology was deprecated since 2016 when it was resurrected and put on GitHub. [10] The history of changes was imported to git from last zip file taken from archive.org and controlled by bazaar version control.

Usage

The goal of Aiki Framework is to make a fast system for developing heavily trafficked communities where developers are used to editing source code, but can not directly because of necessary security precautions in running a web server.

seccomp is a computer security facility in the Linux kernel. seccomp allows a process to make a one-way transition into a "secure" state where it cannot make any system calls except exit , sigreturn , read and write to already-open file descriptors. Should it attempt any other system calls, the kernel will either just log the event or terminate the process with SIGKILL or SIGSYS. In this sense, it does not virtualize the system's resources but isolates the process from them entirely.
