-The LEDE Project is a Linux operating system based on OpenWrt, targeting a wide range of wireless routers and non-network devices. LEDE is an acronym for "Linux Embedded Development Environment". For more information about LEDE Project organization, see the [[:about|About LEDE]] pages. +
- +
-//Note: LEDE is evolving rapidly. As of late 2016, it may not be stable enough for your family to use as the primary router. We are working hard towards a stable release in the new year. However, if you are willing to live with occasional bugs and instability, you can help us improve LEDE by installing and testing our builds, reporting issues and sending fixes.//  +
- +
-===== Why use LEDE? ===== +
- +
-LEDE software is a complete replacement for the firmware for many home and small-office routers and embedded devices. If you are happy with your current systemyou should probably stick with what's working. But... if any of these following reasons resonate with you, consider using LEDE: +
- +
-  * Many people use LEDE because they find it works better than the manufacturer's stock firmware. //[Is this a place to link to the showcase page?]// +
-  +
-  * LEDE contains no hidden backdoors or bugs left by hardware vendors. LEDE's open source process means many developers from all over the world review the code before it ships. +
- +
-  * LEDE is extendable. Factory firmware in a router ships with a fixed set of features (similar to the feature-phones). The LEDE community develops a broad set of packages that add additional functionality (similar to installing apps on the smart phones). Some of the more popular additional features include guest wifi network, ad blocking, secure VPN internet access, and hundreds more. +
- +
-  * LEDE prolongs the life of your router. While vendors are known to only provide updates for your router until the newer model is released, LEDE strives to support all compatible models for as long as their RAM/Flash can accommodate new releases. +
- +
-===== LEDE wants you! ===== +
- +
-Like any open source project, LEDE thrives on the efforts of its users and developers.  +
- +
-  * If you want to develop the software, please refer to our [[docs:guide-developer:the-source-code|Developer Guide]] to learn how to get the source code, build it, and contribute your changes back to the project. +
- +
-  * If you're not a developer, you can still help. The documentation can always be improved (even if it's to verify that the instructions match your experience), or you can help other community members with questions. Don’t hesitate to [[:register_yourself_in_the_wiki|Register yourself in the wiki]], or join our [[https://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev|mailing list]] and [[contact#irc_channels|IRC channels]] to get in touch . +

-===== Endorsements ===== +
