Linked to #38 #7 and following discussions on #35, I'd like to suggest creating a style guide and some templates to help new and returning participants successfully contribute high quality content.
Reasons for the style guide and templates include:
- Maintain consistency across different pieces of content
- Help new contributors understand how to format and structure their work
- Highlight less obvious aspects of contributing (e.g. unusual file names, or auxiliary files that also need to be changed when new content is added)
- Support inclusion and diversity efforts by providing accessibility and language guidance
How can people help with this?
- Suggest examples of good style guides
- Create template files
- Help write the style guide
- Provide feedback on the guides and templates
- Update and maintain templates and guides when something changes

Some suggestions for the style guide:
- Follow APA Style for formatting content on the website.
- Not to capitalize the phrase “open source” unless other rules overwriting it.
