Appears to be in Apache incubator: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/nifi.html (svn has only the site as of now.)

In what sense would this be properly considered an "Ask HN" topic?

It'll be really fun when it becomes accessible - finding a vulnerability in it will be like getting a cheque from Knuth!

I imagine the tags "government" and "open source". And if the answer to the question is "nowhere", then another topic is spawned.

Looks like the only code they've published is here: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/nifi/

So it's only the site code for now. We'll have to wait, then. NiFi looks interesting...

It's not, and I was mildly annoyed to discover that I had clicked on an NSA link instead of an HN link.

Sorry, I didn't read the guidelines before posting.
