01 · what is coming
What is coming
Four documents are planned. Three are published in the main repository, one of them as a first draft; the installation guide has not been written yet.
The first ISO is planned as Almond 0.1 ‘Marcona’, and none has been built yet, so the installation guide has to wait for something to install.
| Document | Status | Published |
|---|---|---|
| Installation guide | Not written yet | Once an ISO exists |
| Build instructions | First draft | In the main repository |
| Contribution guidelines | Published | In the main repository |
| Security policy | Published | In the main repository |
The main repository is github.com/
Until then, this site and the repository are the documentation.

Questions and bug reports go to the issue tracker of the main repository.
Security problems should be reported privately instead, never in a public issue: use “Report a vulnerability” on the repository’s Security tab, as its security policy describes.
The AlmondLinux organisation on GitHub is the project’s public home.
