Trust

For a software to conquer the world, it needs to be trusted. It takes trust tobuild more trust and it can all be broken down really fast if the foundationis proven to have cracks.

In the curl project we build trust for our users in a few different ways:

1. We are completely transparent about everything. Every decision, everydiscussion as well as every line of code and every considered code changeare always public and done in the open.

2. We work hard to write reliable code. We write test cases, we review code,we document best practices and we have a style guide that helps us keepcode consistent.

3. We stick to promises and guarantees as much as possible. We do not breakAPIs and we do not abandon support for old systems.

4. Security is of utmost importance and we take every reported incidentseriously and realize that wemust fix all known problems and we needto do it responsibly. We do our best to not endanger our users.

5. We act like adults. We can be silly and we can joke around, but we do itresponsibly and we follow ourCode of Conduct. Everyone should beable to even trust us to behave.
