After all, it's a curation, not a collection. 4 | 5 | But **what is awesome?** 6 | 7 | ## Only awesome is awesome 8 | 9 | Research if the stuff you're including is actually awesome. Put only stuff on the list you or another contributor can personally recommend and rather leave stuff out than include too much. 10 | 11 | ## Awesome badge 12 | 13 | [![Awesome](https://cdn.rawgit.com/sindresorhus/awesome/d7305f38d29fed78fa85652e3a63e154dd8e8829/media/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) 14 | 15 | Add an awesome badge to the top of your list, right to the title. [Example](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-nodejs). 16 | 17 | ```md 18 | [![Awesome](https://cdn.rawgit.com/sindresorhus/awesome/d7305f38d29fed78fa85652e3a63e154dd8e8829/media/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) 19 | ``` 20 | 21 | ## Comment on why something is awesome 22 | 23 | Apart from suggesting a particular item on your list, you should also inform your readers *why* it's on the list and how they will benefit from it. 24 | 25 | ## Make it clear what the list is about 26 | 27 | Have a succinct description at the top of your readme. Make sure your list covers a certain scope and nothing else. Link to other awesome lists if you think they already cover a certain subject good enough. 28 | 29 | ## Pay attention to grammar 30 | 31 | Ensure your list is grammatically correct, typo free and has no Markdown formatting errors. This should also apply to pull requests. 32 | 33 | ## Choose an appropriate license 34 | 35 | Keep in mind that if you [haven't selected a license](http://choosealicense.com/no-license/), it basically means the people are *not* allowed to reproduce, distribute or create derivative works. 36 | 37 | [Creative Commons licenses](https://creativecommons.org/) are perfect for this purpose. **We would recommend [`CC0`](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).** Code licenses like MIT, BSD, GPL, and so forth are not recommended. 38 | 39 | ## Include contribution guidelines 40 | 41 | People who are contributing to your list should have a clear understanding how they should do so. 42 | 43 | If you don't feel like writing one from scratch, feel free to take our [contributing.md](contributing.md) and modify it to your own needs. 44 | 45 | ## Stylize your list properly 46 | 47 | Create a table of contents, organize the content into different categories, and use images if suitable. Ensure all entries are consistent (e.g. all entry descriptions end in a `.`). 48 | 49 | ## Accept other people's opinion 50 | 51 | If you're an owner of the list, respect other people's opinion. If there are plenty of users not agreeing to your decision, give it a second thought. 52 | 53 | ## Discovery 54 | 55 | Link back to this list from your list so users can easily discover more lists. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /banner.png: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DopplerHQ/awesome-bots/2a9be2ada99dee067711202268de5858ae3482fa/banner.png -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /contributing.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Contribution Guidelines 2 | 3 | ## Table of Contents 4 | - [Adding to this list](#adding-to-this-list) 5 | - [Creating your own awesome list](#creating-your-own-awesome-list) 6 | - [Adding something to an Awesome list](#adding-something-to-an-awesome-list) 7 | - [Updating your Pull Request](#updating-your-pull-request) 8 | 9 | ## Adding to this list 10 | 11 | Please ensure your pull request adheres to the following guidelines: 12 | 13 | - Search previous suggestions before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate. 14 | - Make sure the list is useful before submitting.

Submit the [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)! 43 | 44 | ## Updating your Pull Request 45 | 46 | Sometimes, a maintainer of an awesome list will ask you to edit your Pull Request before it is included. This is normally due to spelling errors or because your PR didn't match the awesome-* list guidelines. 47 | 48 | [Here](https://github.com/RichardLitt/docs/blob/master/amending-a-commit-guide.md) is a write up on how to change a Pull Request, and the different ways you can do that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /create-list.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Creating Your Own List 2 | 3 | - Read the awesome manifesto and ensure your list complies. 4 | - Wait at least a couple of weeks after creating a list before submitting to this list to give it a chance to mature. 5 | - Search this list before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate. If it is, try and contribute to the best one instead of making your own. 6 | - A link back to this list from yours, so users can discover more lists, would be appreciated. 7 | - Make sure you read the contributing guide before submitting a request for your list to be added here. 8 | 9 | Thanks for being awesome! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /readme.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 |
