1About me:
2
3 Just the average curious guy, that likes to know a bit of this and that.
4 I'm not a skilled coder or even a developer, nor i pretend to be! Most of what i'm doing here
5 is simply tweaking code that already exists, though lack of knowledge is not the only reason
6 for this behavior.
7 Just trying to learn, share my opinion (as noob as it may be) and give back some help,
8 within my skills, knowledge and available time.
9 So bare with me :) i'll remember to do the same with you when the time comes.
10
11 Thanks.

14About the branch:
15
16 First, the usual warning: use it at your own risk!
17 No, it's not going to set your machine on fire or something like that :)
18 Everything is tested on my machine first, but you never know. Be sure you understand
19 the changes before you use one of these booters and always keep a plan B!
20
21 Although i use this stuff on a daily basis, this is not meant to be an alternative to Chameleon!
22 Any use of this booter/s should be considered "testing". If you do find a certain patch or
23 functionality useful to your self and the "great" majority of Chameleon users, please make a request
24 to the Chameleon team, on the appropriate places(*).
25 Any other stuff can/should be reported to me directly, at the forum (*) by pm.
26 I might miss a topic so, if you create one, pm me anyway.
27
28 The layout of the branch can change, but at least 2 folders will always be present (at least for now):
29 CleanCut (CC) and Chazi (Ch):
30
31 - Ch is the main stuff; it's my work folder, test bed and personal booter. Comparing it to the trunk
32 will probably be a "pain in" for anyone in the future. That's were CC comes in.
33
34- CC will be as close to the trunk as possible and i won't commit there patches that don't work for
35 everyone, like the AutoResolution i use on Ch. It's mean to be compared easily and keep the stuff
36 i consider most useful to Chameleon "at hand". Stuff committed here will always come from Ch!
37
38Guidelines:
39
40 - learn and spread the knowledge.
41 - simplify booter use as much as possible.
42 - make the code more understandable for Sorcerer's Apprentice like my self.
43 - all files loaded by the booter stay confined to Extra folder.
44 - fixes that are not absolutely needed by all users, should be disabled by default.
45 - help improving Chameleon documentation.
46 - help testing and integrating new useful code to Chameleon.
47 - help applying Coding Standards.
48 - no absolute priority to Selected volume.
49 - emulating a Mac it's not a priority!!!

53 Any feedback is highly appreciated. I mean ANY! Good, bad, suggestion, opinion, bug, issue, etc...
54 About requests, keep in mind that my knowledge is limited!
55 Think "baby steps" ;)
56
57 Read the rest of the docs for more info and keep an eye on the forge and forum (*) for news.
58 Stay safe and enjoy.
