-to make use of. For these, see their individual pages for details. At the moment, only the installation of

-===== Note on installing web applications =====
-Tardis is frequently crawled by web-indexing services, and hence sites hosted on Tardis are very visible to the outside world, often unexpectedly. Unmaintained galleries, blogs, etc. are frequent targets for spammers.
-If you install a web-facing applicaions (eg. Gallery, etc), you **MUST**:
-  *  Keep all web-facing applications on Tardis updated with the latest security patches. Subscribe to the relevant security mailing lists.
-  *  Disable anonymous user input or use effective CAPTCHAs, if such things exist.
-While we will disable insecure applications if we find them, we cannot guarantee to. Security of Tardis services is the responsibility of **all** of the project members, and the existence of insecure applications may jeopordise the project's continued existence.
