"Q: What can I do with <b>pan.do/ra</b>, and how?",
"A: With <b>pan.do/ra</b> you can browse, annotate, search and watch videos - be it your own archive, or someone else's. <b>pan.do/ra</b> is a web site that runs in your browser, so you can either put your collection online, or just use it in your local network. All you have to do is download <b>pan.do/ra</b> and install it on a Linux machine, or just get it pre-installed on a Virtual Machine that will run on most other computers too, quite likely including your laptop. And if you don't have your own video collection, you can use it to explore <a href=\"https://0xDB.org\">someone</a> <a href=\"https://pad.ma\">else's</a>."

[
"Q: What does <b>pan.do/ra</b> cost?",
"A: Maybe some time, but zero money (and only if your time is worth a lot, you can <a href=\"#support\">invert</a> that relation). <b>pan.do/ra</b> is free, open source software, licensed under the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License\">GNU General Public License</a>, so you can download it for free, run, explore and modify it in any way you wish, make as many copies as you like and give them to whoever you want."

[
"Q: Is <b>pan.do/ra</b> ready for production?",
"A: It depends. It's already being used in production, but as of now, there is no \"official\" or \"stable\" first release. There will be one, later this year. The <a href=\"#download\">latest version</a> should work fine, so you can already try it out, but if you really need to use it immediately for something important, you should <a href=\"#contact\">get in touch</a> with us before, just to make sure that whatever you put into it now doesn't just go up in flames once there is a first proper release."

"development":"<p>In a nutshell, <b>pan.do/ra</b> is a python backend, based on <b>Django</b>, a JavaScript frontend, using <b>OxJS</b>, a variety of tools around it, and a JSON API in between. This API is 100% public, and apart from static files, like images or videos, nothing but JSON ever crosses the wire. Anything more web-specific, in fact anything that has to do with resolving URLs and rendering HTML, happens on the client.</p><p>This means that there is virtually no limit to what you can do with <b>pan.do/ra</b>: Use it as it comes out of the box, deploy it as an internal tool and put a completely different public website in front of it, run bots or command-line clients to automate specific tasks, just script it from the console, or even build a native application on top of it.</p><p>To browse or check out the source, take a look at our <a href=\"https://wiki.0x2620.org/browser/pandora\">repository</a>.
