Contributing

This project follows Haiku coding guidelines (more or less).

When implementing new features, bear in mind that Koder is an editor and not an IDE. A good benchmark for new features is whether it works on a file or a group of files. In Koder 1 window = 1 file.

That being said, creating interfaces to talk with an IDE is fine. This approach comes from Haiku philosophy of having small programs doing one thing and talking to each other. Like in Unix, but with GUI.
