Haiku Guides and HowTos
Work in Progress ...
This guide is based on this [haiku-web] thread. Feel free to add to this page, make suggestions, the whole nine yards. Note: many of the pages being created could use additional edits.
Since we are establishing wiki-like functionality, it seems logical to agree upon some stylization formats. Think of this as "Website Coding Guidelines"., something fairly simple to follow that will encourage all of us to abide by it and create a level of visual consistency throughout our documentation. Here is another visual style guide to the current css.
