IS Charms Contributing Guide

This contributing guide is under development.

The CONTRIBUTING.md file outlines expectations the IS Charms team has of each other when contributing code to any of the repositories owned by the team. Changes can be proposed by anyone through pull requests (including to anything in this file).

The structure of the contribution guide is:

• Each line is limited to 80 characters for readability
• The content index is sorted alphabetically to facilitate quickly looking up a standard
• Optionally, headings can be used to aggregate similar standards
• Standards should be grouped together for readability when similar, which means in the body, they do not have to be sorted alphabetically
• Each standard has the structure:
  • a heading with a name of the standard,
  • a description of the problem it intends to address,
  • the standard and
  • an explanation of how the standard addresses the problem.
