Community

The Haiku community is composed of both individuals and groups of people that assist directly or indirectly the development and promotion of Haiku. This section is intended to give information about the Haiku community itself, as well as other communities surrounding the Haiku project.

Software

Besides the Haiku repository that provides the packages that make up the operating system and HaikuPorts which offers a large number of 3rd party software, there are several other repositories and software collections that are independently curated by community members.

The Haiku project isn't legally or otherwise responsible for the contents of those sites.

Software Sites

Help and Support

We primarily communicate through mailing lists (often referred to as 'ML') generally hosted by FreeLists.

In addition to the mailing lists, numerous users and contributors frequently communicate in our IRC channel. There is also a community forum and BeShare, an online chat and file sharing application.
