> The ayllu, a family clan, is the traditional form of a community in the Andes, especially among Quechuas and Aymaras. They are an indigenous local government model across the Andes region of South America, particularly in Bolivia and Peru.

> Ayllus functioned prior to Inca conquest, during the Inca and Spanish colonial period, and continue to exist to the present day – such as the Andean community Ocra.[1] Membership gave individual families more variation and security on the land that they farmed.[2] Ayllus had defined territories and were essentially extended family or kin groups, but could include non-related members. Their primary function was to solve subsistence issues, and issues of how to get along in family, and the larger community. Ayllus descended from stars in the Inca cosmogony, and just like stars had unique celestial locations, each ayllu had a terrestrial location defined by the paqarina, the mythical point of emergence of the lineage huaca.[3]

there's really not that many free software projects named in quichua; that has to be a point in its favor

i'm not sure about the usability tho. the front page links to https://ayllu-forge.org/projects/ayllu/refs which links to https://ayllu-forge.org/projects/ayllu/commit/bb5e8bf796f49e... which only displays the diffs; it took me a while to figure out that the 'browse' button links to the tree as of that version https://ayllu-forge.org/projects/ayllu/tree/bb5e8bf796f49ed1... which does have the information i was actually looking for: it's 70% rust with the rest being html, sass, sql, and svg

there are some evident bugs; that last page displays the sizes of subdirectories as 'NaN B' and declares that their permissions prohibit reading them ('d---------')

still, at first glance it seems eminently usable, despite the performance problems and obvious bugs
