Contributor Code of Conduct

Guidelines

  • make sure a book is free. Double-check if needed. It helps the admins if you comment in the PR as to why you think the book is free.
  • we don't accept files hosted on google drive, dropbox, mega, scribd, issuu and other similar file upload platforms
  • insert your links in alphabetical order. If you see a misplaced link, please reorder it and submit a PR
  • use the link with the most authoritative source (meaning author's website is better than editor's website is better than third party website)
    • no file hosting services (this includes (but is not limited to) Dropbox and Google Drive links)
  • always prefer a https link over a http one -- as long as they are on the same domain and serve the same content
  • on root domains, strip the trailing slash: http://example.com instead of http://example.com/
  • always prefer the shortest link: http://example.com/dir/ is better than http://example.com/dir/index.html
    • no URL shortener links
  • usually prefer the "current" link over the "version" one: http://example.com/dir/book/current/ is better than http://example.com/dir/book/v1.0.0/index.html
  • if a link has an expired certificate/self-signed certificate/SSL issue of any other kind:
    1. replace it with its http counterpart if possible (because accepting exceptions can be complicated on mobile devices)
    2. leave it if no http version but link still accessible through https by adding an exception to the browser or ignoring the warning
    3. remove it otherwise
  • if a link exists in multiple format, add a separate link with a note about each format
  • if a resource exists at different places on the Internet
    • use the link with the most authoritative source (meaning author's website is better than editor's website is better than third party website)
    • if they link to different editions and you judge these editions are different enough to be worth keeping them, add a separate link with a note about each edition
  • prefer atomic commits (one commit by addition/deletion/modification) over bigger commits. No need to squash your commits before submitting a PR. (We will never enforce this rule as it's just a matter of convenience for the maintainers)
  • if the book is older, include the publication date with the title.
  • include the author name or names where appropriate. You can shorten author lists with "et al."
  • if the book is not finished, and is still being worked on, add the "in process" notation.
