What is Raible?

Raible is not a person, it's not a thing. At least it is none of these things on its own. Raible is a state of mind, Raible is also the sound of one hand clapping, it is the joy of a young man who first discovers he can grow his first mustache.

Most of all Raible is freedom.

It is not a cult, it is not an egg, but it can be extended into your vocabulary in numerous ways:
