Contributor Guidelines

If you’re considering making a contribution, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:

Creative Commons license.

All contributions made to this site are required to be made under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. This means that by making a content contribution, you are agreeing that it is licensed to us and to others under this license. If you do not want your content to be available under this license, you should not contribute it.

Submit only your own work.

You warrant that all work that you contribute to this site is your original work, except for material that is in the public domain or for which you have obtained permission. Feel free to draw from your own existing work (blogs, articles, talks, etc.), so long as you are happy with the Creative Commons license.

Your submission may not be accepted.

Be aware that we may not be able to accept your contribution.

Keep your title pithy and to the point.

The title should only be a 2 to 10 words long if possible and should summarize or capture the essence of the advice. Keep your discussion between 400 and 500 words.

Volunteers only.

Contributions are made on a volunteer basis — in other words, contributors are not paid for their contributions. The contributions will be made easily available to everyone on the Web for free. However, remember that those of you whose contributions are chosen for publication will get your name attached to your work and your bio published next to it. Any item you contribute you can also reuse in any form you wish, such as in a blog posting.

Only submit a pull request when you consider your work complete.

Please submit your work once it is complete. Once you make a pull request, the editor will review the submission and (possibly) suggest some changes. Reducing work in progress makes it easier for you to see your own progress and for others to see the progress of the whole project.

Check spelling, word count, and formatting.

Such checking seems obvious part, but it is worth a reminder — sometimes it seems that it is honored more in the breach than in the observance. US spelling is used for the contributions, which should be between 400 and 500 words in length. Formatting can be checked by looking at the saved page in GitHub. If it looks right there, it’s probably right.
