A note about the project's name

The project was named after Allan Moore's character Evey Hammond from the graphic novel V for Vendetta.

It has nothing to do with the horrible headlines on the news.

Acknowledgments

Hammond's design is heavily insired by Gnome-Music and Vocal.

We also copied some elements from Gnome-news.

And almost the entirety of the build system is copied from the Fractal project.
