# Contribution Guide #
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First of all, thank for your contribution! I can't manage this whole thing
|
|
|
|
|
alone, and I welcome pull requests. To make sure that we're all on the same
|
|
|
|
|
page, here are some guidelines to follow for submitting pull requests for this
|
|
|
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Ensure that everything you link to is free (as in freedom) ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is highly important - this list *only* contains freedom-respecting things!
|
|
|
|
|
If you are sending a pull request linking to code, ensure it is licensed under a
|
|
|
|
|
[freedom-respecting license][1]; if you are linking to assets of any kind, make
|
|
|
|
|
sure that [they are the same][2]. For games, be especially careful that they are
|
|
|
|
|
both.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Indicate the license for anything you add clearly ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ensure that you use the correct name for the license (as per [this][1]
|
|
|
|
|
or [this][2]), and indicate any further restrictions clearly. Also check if the
|
|
|
|
|
license is in use already - if it is, don't create another link to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Maintain alphabetical order within sections ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty self-explanatory, really. Numbers are considered to be higher-ordered
|
|
|
|
|
than anything else, and otherwise, lex order.
|

## Give a clear commit message ##

|
|
|
The commit message should state clearly *what* you did (adding, removing,
|
|
|
|
|
clarifying, etc.), with *what* (usually by giving the name of the entry), in the
|
|
|
|
|
present continuous tense (i.e. 'adding' not 'added').
