All contributions must be properly licensed and attributed. If you are contributing your own original work, then you are offering it under a CC-BY license (Creative Commons Attribution). You are responsible for adding your own name or pseudonym in the [Github Contributors](github_contrib.asciidoc) section, as attribution for your contribution.
If you are sourcing a contribution from somewhere else, it must carry a compatible license. The book will initially be released under a CC-BY-NC-ND license which means that contributions must be licensed under open licenses such as MIT, CC0, CC-BY, etc. You need to indicate the original source and original license, by including an asciidoc markup comment above your contribution, like this:
Please submit only PRs for errors that a non-domain-expert copy editor might miss. Do not submit PRs for typos, grammar and syntax, as those are part of the copy editors job.
4. Please do one pull request *per asciidoc file*, to avoid large merges. Edit the asciidoc file where you want to make a change.
5. If you want attribution for your contribution, edit the file `meta/github_contrib.adoc` and add your own name to the list of contributors under the Acknowledgment section. Use your name, or a GitHub username, or a pseudonym. You are responsible for creating an attribution.
If you find a mistake and you're not sure how to fix it, or you don't know how to do a pull request, then you can file an Issue. Filing an Issue will help us see the problem and fix it.
All submissions should use Unix-like line endings: LF (not CR, not CR/LF). All the postprocessing is done on Unix-like systems. Incorrect line endings, or changes to line endings cause confusion for the diff tools and make the whole file look like it has changed.
