Trust

For a software to conquer the world, it needs to be trusted. It takes trust to
build more trust and it can all be broken down really fast if the foundation
is 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, every
   discussion as well as every line of code are always public and done in the
   open.

2. We try 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 keep code
   consistent.

3. We stick to promises and guarantees as much as possible. We don’t break
   APIs and we don’t abandon support for old systems.

4. Security is of utmost importance and we take every reported incident very
   seriously and realize that we must fix all known problems and we need
   to 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 it
   responsibly and we follow our Code of
   Conduct. Everyone should be able to even trust us to
   behave.
