What may be best is to put together a team of experienced BeOS/Haiku

it.

I don't know how bloody obvious this question is (if at all) but did Be,
Inc. itself not have a HIG like i.e. Apple and GNOME? I know one was never
published (iirc), but I could poke a few ex-Be engineers or Bernd to see if
something along these lines exist.

There is a Haiku HIG in progress:

I don't know the scope of it, but perhaps Darkwyrm can shed some light (I believe it is mostly his work).

Cheers,

Koki
