-# HexChat Hacking Guidelines
-
-Just some tips if you're going to help with HexChat code (patches etc):
-
-* Use tabs, not spaces, to indent and align code.
-
-* Use a tab size of 4 (most editors will let you choose this).
-  Type :set ts=4 in vim/gvim.
-
-* Try to stick to the same consistant coding style (vertically aligned braces, a space after if, while, functions etc.):
-
-```C
-void
-routine (void)
-{
-	if (function (a, b, c))
-	{
-		x = a + 1;
-	}
-}
-```
-
-* Don't use "//" C++ style comments, some compilers don't like them.
-
-* When opening a file with Unix level functions (open, read/write, close)
-  as opposed to the C level functions (fopen, fwrite/fread, fclose), use
-  the OFLAGS macro. This makes sure it'll work on Win32 as well as Unix e.g.:
-
-	<pre>fh = open ("file", OFLAGS | O_RDONLY);</pre>
-
-* Use closesocket() for sockets, and close() for normal files.
-
-* Don't read() from sockets, use recv() instead.
-
-* Patches are only accepted as a Github Pull request: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests
