General Haiku Discussion

I don't want to start any wars so I'll ask this plainly.

Are we going to clean up the code in the tree so that all the apps are coded in the same style?

For example some apps start with:

MyApp app;

I am a bit confused navigating this site. I can find Download section for Resources and Tools, but I can't find download section for the OS itself.
I am a real newbie here; thus, I really do not know where to get Haiku.
:cry: Is there someone to tell me where it is?
Thanks a lot

I've been looking at a lot of projects that are BeOS related and it seems to me that everything that isn't an app is being called a kit.

This abuse of the terminology is going to confuse many people (old and new users alike). The breaking up of system components into sub catagories such as the original kits was a great organizational idea on Be's part. What I suggest is that we continue that tradition by treating larger subsections of the system as kits.

Hi,

I have been building the Haiku tree and the packages for many months now, and I suppose in December sometime I noticed that the Input Kit would always end up hosing my system. I thought it would be a temporary thing, but every build I do results in a built Input Kit that doesn't do anything but hang up my computer on bootup. After this happens, I revert to the original input kit, and everything is happy again.
