February 2025 highlights for ente-io/ente: Delivered focused improvements to self-hosting onboarding and hardened access-control behavior. Key deliverables include updating the self-hosting documentation title to clarify community-driven hosting and adding a direct link to the community guide in the sidebar, and fixing storage-quota enforcement by removing the INVITED status check in the family controller so quotas apply only to accepted members. These changes reduce user confusion, strengthen security and quota governance, and support smoother onboarding for self-hosted deployments. Demonstrated strong documentation discipline, server-side access-control reasoning, and clear, traceable commits.
