## Project overview
A rough overview/blueprint for the hledger project.
### Mission, principles, goals
The hledger project aims to produce:
- a practical, accessible, dependable tool for end users
- a useful library and toolbox for finance-minded haskell programmers
- a successful, time-and-money-solvent project within a thriving ecosystem of financial software projects.
### Roles and activities
- newcomer/potential user
- user
- library user
- field tester
- bug wrangler
- support
- documentor
- qa
- developer
- packager
- communicator
- project manager
### Documentation
Project documentation lives in a number of places:
- `doc/*.md` and `doc/site/*.md` form the hledger.org website, which is generated with hakyll[-std] and pandoc
- haddock documentation in the code appears on Hackage
- short blurbs: cabal files, module headers, HCAR, GSOC project, ..
- `doc/notes.org` has some old developer notes
- developer reports (profiles, benchmarks, coverage..) in doc/profs, sometimes published at hledger.org/profs
### Code
The hledger repo is hosted on Github, at <http://github.com/simonmichael/hledger>.
You can also jump there via `code.hledger.org[/commits]`.
### Quality control
Relevant tools include:
- unit tests (HUnit, make unittest)
- functional tests (shelltestrunner, make functest)
- performance tests (simplebench, make bench)
- documentation tests (make haddocktest + manual)
- ui tests (manual)
- installation tests (manual)
- code reviews
### Code reviews
We have so far held one code review party, in July 2014, on the mail list and IRC channel.
Here's the original [proposal](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.finance.ledger.hledger/1070) giving some motivation, and the discussion logs, note these are a good source of hledger development tips:
