Spelling: GoodStyle
* Write factual information.
* Give concrete advice.
* To make editing and elaboration easier, avoid use of "I" where
possible (except in your WikiHomePage [1]).
* Write and sign first person accounts when reporting experience not
easily reduced to facts or advice.
* Place words where they are easy to read, which isn't always at the
bottom.
* Edit pages to emphasize the flow of ideas, not the chronology of
contribution.
* Be concise and stay OnTopic [2] for the page.
* Use language you'd be comfortable reading out loud - use vs
utilize - and keep it simple. Simple language often communicates
better.
* The server has very simple TextFormattingRules [3]. Start each
line without spaces, and separate paragraphs with a blank line. You
can run capitalized words together to make HyperLinks [4].
* Use horizontal separators to make things easier to read. When
there are lots of different comments with no separation, they can get
confusing.
* Edit only when you think a page is lacking - don't just sign your
name at the bottom of every page.
* Don't delete unless doing so adds value.
* Don't say things that are designed to make others mad. Practice
civility and understatement.
