Greetings.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Haiku project website
|
|
---------------------
|
|
http://www.haiku-os.org
|
|
|
|
This is the main website for the Haiku project. It contains news posts from
|
|
the project, blog posts (from developers, Google Summer of Code participants,
|
|
and other frequent contributors), forums, and a vast collection of information.
|
|
|
|
|

Communication

|
-------------
|
|
http://www.haiku-os.org/community/ml
|
|
http://www.haiku-os.org/community/ml/etiquette
|
|
|
|
The primary means of communication are through mailing lists and are generally
|
|
hosted by FreeLists. In addition to the mailing lists (ML), numerous users and
|
|
contributors frequent IRC (irc.freenode.net#haiku). There is also BeShare, an
|
|
online chat and file sharing application.

Coding Guidelines
|
|
------------------
|
|
http://www.haiku-os.org/development/coding-guidelines
|
|
|
|
The Haiku project takes pride in code quality. Both in terms of implementing
|
|
the correct code, as well as ensuring the code is written in a consistent
|
|
style. Learning and utilizing the coding guidelines is essential to
|
|
contributing code to Haiku.
|

|
Haiku API documentation
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
http://api.haiku-os.org
|
|
Old BeBook API: http://www.haiku-os.org/legacy-docs/bebook
|
|
|
|
This is the current (and in-progress) documentation for Haiku's API. As Haiku
|
|
was formed on the idea of implementing binary compatibility with BeOS R5, the
|
|
BeBook is fairly accurate. Contributions to Haiku's API book are encouraged.
|

|
|

|
Learning to Program with Haiku
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
http://www.haiku-os.org/development/learning_to_program_with_haiku
|
|
|
|
A developer, DarkWyrm has published a book that is " aimed at people who want
|
|
to be able to write simple programs to get stuff done, but never had anyone
|
|
around teach them". He has chosen to distribute the PDF versions of the book
|
|
under a Creative Commons license for noncommercial purposes.

Programming with Haiku
|
|
----------------------

http://www.haiku-os.org/tags/programmingwithhaiku
|
|
|
|
Another series from Darkwyrm. It is "aimed at current codemonkeys who want to
|
|
break into development for Haiku. Here begins a new series of programming
|
|
lessons aimed at people who already have a basic grasp on C++: Programming with
|
|
Haiku."
