Define an editorial structure/editorial guidelines
roblarsen opened this issue · comments
This repo is basically prose. In most projects that are prose-based, there are editorial guidelines and human beings that serve as editors. I think it would help to clarify some of those things on this project.
It will be a stretch to create something like a style guide, but that would be the ultimate goal. In the interim, some words in the readme/contributing docs about creating a single editorial voice will codify that expectation. I am also anointing myself "editor" so that there's an expectation about receiving feedback on the way a question is worded.
(why me? I've interviewed hundreds of candidates on three continents, I've written five books and since I've inherited this repo I might as well make it enjoyable 😺)
I would be happy to have other folks with professional experience with words help out crafting a unified voice for the project and/or wordsmithing questions as they come in.
👍🏻 Love it. A few things I'd love to keep in mind going forward (& which were tennants of this project from the outset):
- tone should always be open, understanding, encouraging etc. (we should all want interviews to be successful)
- the questions/challenges should be learning opportunities & jumping off points for discussion (boolean questions & statements should be avoided if possible)
- no answers (everyone has their own way of interpreting & potentially communicating their understanding)
