🎯 Program Purpose
The program welcomes students, professionals, and hobbyists who want to build a trusted collection of practical, accurate technical knowledge. Quality and consistency are essential, and contributors receive public credit for approved work.
📜 Core Rules
Edits that do not follow these rules may be reverted, and contributor access may be revoked.
- Markdown only: use headings, tables, lists, inline code, and labeled code blocks.
- Original work or attribution: cite outside material; plagiarism is not permitted.
- Accuracy over speed: test commands and state versions, assumptions, and limitations.
- Professional tone: no attacks, gatekeeping, or unmarked opinion.
- Safe and lawful content: no harmful malware, credentials, private data, or exploit kits.
- Respect the structure: keep pages focused and do not reorganize core directories without approval.
The complete standard, examples, and recommendations live in the Contributor Guidelines.
