Bad things happen when user data can control our stack size.
2019-10-02HACKING: document Perl character class gotcha
It took me years to discover this change in Perl 5.6, maybe other potential hackers are in the same boat.
2019-09-22doc: update HACKING and TODO with a few items

2019-04-16HACKING: stop advertising mailing list subscription info
It's still available, but no point in advertising something which increases the dependency on a centralized subscriber list. In fact, it's actively against the goal of promoting resistance against centralization.

2014-04-21doc: update design_www and add HACKING file
Document some of the stranger choices I've made.
