+# PMF Metholody
+
+This document describes the Programming Methodology Framework also
+known under the PMF methodology.  The methodology is based on [the
+manifesto written by Zed A.  Shaw](http://programming-motherfucker.com) which
+describes a natural approach to software engineering with a strong
+focus on the act of programming.  The PM methodology uses a soft
+naming to allow for a non-partisan reference to official engineering
+or project documents describing one of the most used software
+engineering methodologies.
