<li>an acronym for <i>"Content-Addressable Multi-Layer Indexed Storage"</i>, hinting that Camlistore is about:
<ul>
<li>content-addressable storage</li>
<li>separate interoperable parts (<a href="/docs/arch">storage</a>, <a href="/docs/terms#graphsync">sync</a>, <a href="/docs/sharing">sharing</a>,
<a href="/docs/schema">modeling</a>), with well-defined protocols and roles</li>
</ul></li>
<li>your "home directory for the web"</li>
<li>pro-JSON (yet aggressively format agnostic)</li>
<li>pro-OpenPGP (for <a href="/docs/json-signing">signing claims</a>)</li>
<li>pro-paranoia and privacy</li>
<li><a href="/docs/uses">ambitious</a>, but ...</li>
<li>simple!</li>
<li>programming language-agnostic (parts and different implementations in <a href="http://golang.org/">Go</a>, Python, Java, Perl, Bash, ... the language doesn't matter.) What matters is well-defined, simple HTTP interfaces.</li>
<li>neither "Cloud" nor "Local". happily both.</li>
