I suppose I could be wrong. :)
(Tangent:
I find it difficult to express the difference between
working on Haiku itself and working on independent software
meant to run on Haiku, in a few words, without ambiguity.
"Working on", "developing for", "developing" all get
fuzzed by the fact that "Haiku" in our context can be
interpreted as both project, product and platform.
E.g. to "develop for Haiku" might be interpreted as
"working for the project" - i.e. "develop Haiku"
while the intended meaning was using Haiku in the
platform sense, independent software development
targetting the Haiku platform.)
