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.
