|  | ## What is -rnd?
RespoNsive Developers | Developers try to respond on user needs, adding features that are actually needed by current users.
Response Not Delayed | Bugreports, user requests and patches submitted are answered ASAP. There are no patches bitrotting for months. There are no forgotten bugreports.
Research & Development Rázós, Nehéz Döntések (Brave, hard decisions) | There is a constant experimentation with new features and directions. We are willing to try strange/unusual ideas without risking the stability of the daily workflow.
Rants Now Dissipating | Instead of talking and ranting a lot about what could work better, we just sit down and make it work better.
Rather Nicely Decentralized | Slim, generic core; most of the code organized in replacable plugins. Most plugins depend only on the core.
