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 and i don't mess with stuff i don't have knowledge to mess
19 with, but you never know. Be sure you fully understand the changes before you use this booter
20 (CleanCut included) and always keep a plan B!!!
21 I will do my best to explain what these changes are and more.
22
23 Although i use this stuff on a daily basis, this is not meant to be an alternative to Chameleon!
24 Any use of this booter/s should be considered "testing". If you do find a certain patch or
25 functionality useful to your self and the "great" majority of Chameleon users, please make a request
26 to the Chameleon team, on the appropriate places(*).
27 Any other stuff can/should be reported to me directly, at the forum (*) by pm.
28 I might miss a topic so, if you create one, pm me anyway.
29
30 The layout of the branch can change, but at least 2 folders will always be present (at least for now):
31 CleanCut and Chazi:
32
33 - Chazi is the main stuff! It's My Work Folder, Test Bed and "Personal" Booter. Comparing it to the
34 trunk will probably be a "pain in" for anyone in the future. That's were CleanCut comes in.
35
36- CleanCut, as the name implies, is a "clean" cut of Chazi; will always be as close to the trunk as
37 possible and i won't commit there patches that don't work for everyone, like the AutoResolution
38 one i use on Chazi (this may change in the future).
39 It's mean to be compared easily and keep the stuff i consider most useful to Chameleon "at hand".
40 Stuff committed there, besides trunk updates, will always come from and reflect changes on Chazi,
41 keeping the limitations above in mind!
42
43Guidelines:
44
45 - learn and spread the knowledge.
46 - simplify booter use as much as possible.
47 - make the code more understandable for Sorcerer's Apprentice like my self.
48 - all files loaded by the booter stay confined to Extra folder.
49 - fixes that are not absolutely needed by all users, should be disabled by default.
50 - help improving Chameleon documentation.
51 - help testing and integrating new useful code to Chameleon.
52 - help applying Coding Standards.
53 - no absolute priority to Selected volume.
54 - emulating a Mac it's not a priority!!!

58 Any feedback is highly appreciated. I mean ANY! Good, bad, suggestion, opinion, bug, issue, etc...
59 About requests, keep in mind that my knowledge is limited!
60 Think "baby steps" ;)
61
62 Read the rest of the docs for more info and keep an eye on the forge and forum (*) for news.
63 Stay safe and enjoy.
64
65Thanks:
66 any contribution to this OSx86 scene, with a true sense of "community" deserves a "Thank you very much",
67 from the small post to the nice booter :)
