      New To-Do list

      (Wiki - to do list - old)

      Main points to keep in mind while working on tutorials:
      1) you are explaining to beginners - be clear
      2) you are sharing your knowledge - be objective (they might wont understand)
      3) you are writing tutorial, not a novel - be short
      4) your writing style have to be easy to understand - be simple
      5) guide mustn't be overcrowded - make sure it looks readable on 1st view

      Text:
      - clear
      - simple
      - short
      - objective
      - readable
      - correct grammar and spelling

      Every guide must have:
      - short and 'interesting title'
      - clear message and state point of each argument
      - advice (not only text text)
      - sense
      - dose of motivation (if is possible)

      Style and technique:
      1) do not use colors, bold, strikeouts - plain text only
      2) do not use different size of letters, different fonts
      - use only normal font, normal font size, normal color letters

      2 why? 2 that's why
      We have 2 different guides:
      ~ Wiki guides which use different code so only plain text is recognized
      so Wiki team will take care of technique while uploading it
      Wiki guides are here: Tutorials / Guides / Tactics

      ~ Board guides which use full BB code - for those feel free to use anything you like
      Board guides are everything else: Rest of section

      BUT:
      When you are editing, changing, fixing, correcting guide sample:

      1) do not use quotes - add text whole and do the edits on it
      2) please use the color to highlight words and parts you edited to be clearly visible for rest of us

      Further on:
      1) we want to have short version of each guide
      - check more on: Click here

      Type of work:
      1) we will work as group work in steps
      few guides per week
      - more info about next meeting will be announced in timeline thread

      Be creative:
      We are looking to have your help, to hear your ideas, suggestions and feedback in general
      Every help is more than welcome

      Thanks
