- Default to open
- Less is more
- Everything is broken
- View the source Luke
- Keep it simple
- Pave the cowpaths
- Small pieces, loosely joined
- No permission needed
- Follow your nose
- Everything is intertwingled
- The world is your audience
- You GET what you need
- Resource-oriented (vs. service-oriented)
- Tagsoup tastes good
- A resource can be anything
- Caching is your friend
If it turns into a useful list it could be turned into a collaborative code4lib2011 lightning talk or something.
