Election Data Guide Content #4

Open DylanMoriarty opened 8 years ago

DylanMoriarty commented 8 years ago

From previous discussions we've agreed that a thorough guide will be necessary for Open Elections, both as a means of helping target users contribute & cleanly answering the many, many questions visitors will have.

Before we move to far into designing the guide, we should really lock down the content. It's not a blocker to not have everything 100% written up, but we should make sure we're answering the right questions & binning this information appropriately.

To help out, I've busted out the questions into a series of Gists. If you built out a section, would like to take a stab at answering a question, or think up another one, add it to the Gists!

To update on this, the inner pages exist, and are live now.

You can see what options are available for content editing at this page.

The sections are split into individual folders inside app. I've included instructions for editing them and what the front matter is hitting in the readme.

If there's any features you feel are missing for writing out guides, or if you have any questions regarding updating the information don't hesitant to ping me!
