Development
===========
   
1. Allow for short build, test cycles. Software that needs lots of
   manual commands to run is annoying for contributors.

2. Being able to run directly from the source tree should be possible
   so contributors don't need to clutter their systems for smoke
   testing. If things need special setup provide a *run* script that
   performs that. This does imply that *every* aspect of the software
   is testable that way.

3. Since the project is GNOME based `GTK <https://www.gtk.org/>`_
   should be used as GUI toolkit.

4. Developed libraries should be `GObject introspectable
   <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection>`_ to ease
   use from other programming languages.

5. Applications should follow the `GNOME Hig <https://developer.gnome.org/hig/>`_.
