"Fork me on GitHub" #25

Open jessieay opened 9 years ago

jessieay commented 9 years ago

When I first saw the guides, it was when looking at this page: https://pages.18f.gov/guides/

While the homepage has a link to the pages/guides on GitHub, there isn't a link within the guides themselves. So, when I wanted to add something, I wasn't sure where to do it.

It seems ideal to encourage contributions to the guides by making their location on GitHub very obvious. I am a fan of the "fork me on GitHub" convention as seen here: http://simonwhitaker.github.io/github-fork-ribbon-css/

Not sure what others (especially designers) think of that, but as a developer with a :heart: for open source, I think they would be a great way to encourage contributions to these pages.

I think we can do more with the footers, but am not sure I love the "Fork me" look. Unsure....

The "fork me on GitHub" phrasing is fairly idiomatic and specific to GitHub; we can do this with plain language and minimized vendor branding.

There's a standard footer on guide pages with "[Edit this page] or [file an issue] on GitHub." - I don't know if that's been added since this issue got opened a few months ago.
