Create Prose Style Guide

[scottgonzalez]

Most of http://learn.jquery.com/style-guide/ should be moved here as the prose style guide spans everything from READMEs to API documentation to articles and tutorials.

The index page will need to be updated as well, as that links to the various existing guides.

Hi @scottgonzalez, how to can I contribute on this?

[scottgonzalez]

To start, you should read through http://contribute.jquery.org/ and http://learn.jquery.com/style-guide/. Then you could send a PR with a first draft.

(everything from READMEs to API documentation to articles and tutorials) I am new, where are READMEs =? could you give me the links?

[scottgonzalez]

READMEs are in all of the various repositories. To be honest, a large part of this task requires the knowledge of someone immersed in this community.

[marti1125]

@scottgonzalez well I will try with this https://github.com/jquery/sizzle it is ok?

[kswedberg]

@marti1125 You might want to start with the one at https://github.com/jquery/api.jquery.com/blob/master/README.md

Let me know if you have any questions about it.

[pablofiumara]

I need some confirmation.

Do you wish to have the information in http://learn.jquery.com/style-guide/ distributed inside pages at http://contribute.jquery.org/ ?

[scottgonzalez]

The style guide needs to move out of the various locations that it currently exists, including http://learn.jquery.com/style-guide/, and into http://contribute.jquery.org/style-guide/prose/.

[pablofiumara]

Thanks for your answer.

I will send you a pull request with a first draft in the next few days.

[scottgonzalez]

@pablofiu That's great. If you have any questions, just ask here or in #jquery-content on IRC.

[pablofiumara]

Thank you, Scott.

[pablofiumara]

With regards to code output placement, we agreed to use
// >
on its own line. We might then choose to replace this with whatever we decide is more suitable on build (e.g. ➡ or → or something else) otherwise, keep >, see globalizejs/globalize#313

Slightly related: Markdown "code" style is something else I'd like to document one day. Do we want new lines under headings, hard wrapping, how do we make lists, ...
