This document was written in response to the expansion and increase of Arabeyes projects. It became apparent that it was necessary to have a guideline that new and older Arabeyes developers can follow.
There are three main objectives hoped to be achieved by this document:
To make it easy for new volunteers to learn the ropes of what it takes to start and maintain Open Source projects with Arabeyes.
To make it easy for users to know what to expect when they intend to use an Arabeyes product.
To make it easy for new voltunteers who intend to contribute to an Arabeyes project.
Many thanks to the following individuals who have provided useful feedback when it was needed during the write-up of this document.
Samy Barha -- for his passionate "tabs vs. spaces" argument.
Nadim Shaikli -- for his many corrections and recommendations.
