the goals of the newsletter are:
- to foster collaboration between people on the town
- to serve the town's vision of being radically inclusive by boosting users who are newer / less visible
- to highlight the incredible quality of contributions to tilde.town in whatever form, whether that is creating art on a ~ page, writing software for the server or projects that do not involve the terminal.
if you are contributing please try to keep these in mind!
the maximum length of a line should be 75 characters so that it comfortably fits in the alpine window.
use 75 dashes as a content separator:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
subheadings are created using figlet with the font smslant. you can invoke it all like:
figlet -f smslant tilde.town timesI have just made them ALL CAPS!!!! but it is up to you how to format them idk
include a link to their ~ page the first time you mention them. always use gender-neutral terms or try to use their names in place of a gendered term ("jumblesale's page" rather than "his page").
nobody cares just try to be honest and true to yourself. typos are welcome because they are a beautiful reminder of our fallibility.
