----------------------------------------------------------------------
This file provides instructions for contributing to the website hosted
at <https://spectrum-os.org/>.  If you would like to contribute to the
Spectrum operating system itself, please refer to the
contributing.html file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Design tweaks, content updates, fixes (both factual and grammatical),
and new content for the Spectrum website are all welcomed.

Try to keep lines at around 70 characters, HTML out of the way as much
as possible while still being valid (did you know <p> can
self-close?), and CSS to a minimum.  We want to optimise for the
website being as nice as possible to navigate in a text editor, to
encourage people to edit and improve the website.

For any changes that are likely to be copyrightable (i.e. those that
involve any amount of creative input from you), please add an
SPDX-FileCopyrightText header to the file so we can keep track of
copyright holders.  Every file should already have at least one
example of these that you can use as a template.  If you'd rather not
list your email address in the copyright notice, it's fine to omit
that.

Please send patches to devel@spectrum-os.org.  Instructions for how to
do this are provided in the contributing.html file.

It's helpful if people can see at a glance that your patch is for the
website.  To help with this, Git provides a feature that will
automatically prepend a prefix to the subject line of every patch
message sent by it in a given repository.  You can configure it by
running the following command in this Git repository:

	git config format.subjectPrefix "PATCH www"

From now on, git-send-email(1) will automatically add "[PATCH www]" to
the start of every patch sent for this repository, instead of the
default "[PATCH]".
