This document is intended to serve as an introduction to the Haiku project.
As such, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
About the Haiku project
-----------------------
The Haiku project is comprised of numerous volunteers spread across the globe.
While Haiku supports localization efforts, the primary language is English.
The project is mindful of the language barrier for non-English speakers. To
note, the native language of the majority of contributors is not English.
Design goals
------------
If the ideology of the Haiku project were to be explained in a few short words,
it would be something like this. The software shall have sensible defaults with
minimal configuration required. The code shall adhere to the coding guidelines
and implement the functionality in best possible manner.
