Dear all,

I've added some guidelines for proposing content for the blog
(https://texmacs.github.io/notes/index.html).

You can find them here:
https://texmacs.github.io/notes/editorial-guidelines.html

I tend to think that the correct contribution system is a "curated" one for
many reasons:

1) technical: the addition have to be post-processes by knowledgeable people
to ensure that the HTML translation is acceptable and nice.

2) editorial: we want this place to be useful and meaningful. To me the right
approach is to consider it a "publication" where there is somebody (an editor
board) which cares about homogeneity and quality. So a bit of centralization.
This agrees with the fact that TeXmacs itself (i.e. Joris :)) is very
opinionated on design choices and aim.

3) decentralization: the fact that is a git repository means that it still
remains de-centralized to a large extent: if you want you can clone the
repository and publish the material in **any way** you like. Like software
this material will be open source, for all to use as they see fit.


I feel that the editorial policy do not restrict your freedom as content
contributor: if you have a github account is very easy to publish your own
better version as "github pages".

Anyway I'm open to discuss it, my intention is that it is
useful/informative/correct/pleasant to read, this should be the primary goal.

Max
