-- documentation
There is a more complete incomplete manual. This is just the README.
-- guidelines
One honk per day, or call it an "eighth-tenth" honk.
If your honk frequency changes, so will the number of honks.
The honk should be short, but not so short that you cannot identify it.
The honk is an animal sign of respect and should be accompanied by a
friendly greeting or a nod.
The honk should be done from a seat and in a safe area.
It is considered rude to make noise in a place of business.
The honk may be made on public property only when the person doing
the honk has the permission of the owner of that property.
