This beings the replacement of the libbind/netresolv-based implementation with musl's equivalent. The code is less well commented in some places, but it is well-designed and well-maintained, and the licensing situation is much cleaner than the multi-BSD-licensed libbind-derivative code, as well as being actively maintained (supposedly NetBSD has taken over libbind/netresolv, but have not posted any portable code since 2013.) The eventual goal is to replace the entirety of NetResolv with code from musl, which will be an involved process as ABI compatibility will be a problem. These functions at least are extremely straightforward to replace.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
