Closes https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/18969
@Sampfluger88, here's the PR you secretly wanted, but I'm sorry to throw
the review in your lap!
I planned to add clear guidance on writing types (guides vs. articles
vs. website copy), but I couldn't comfortably do that because the entire
Writing section needed attention before that could fit in properly.
I reorganized the section to make it easier to follow and maintain,
grouping existing content into clearer buckets:
- Style & values
- Types (examples of different writing formats at Fleet; can expand
later to include social media)
- Process (editing, publishing, PR review)
- Inspiration (Mister Rogers / Paul Graham)
- Assistance (tools like Grammarly and generative AI)
- Mechanics (rules across all mediums)
- Markdown (website-specific rules)
These now live under the following headings:
- Writing (top-level intro)
- Writing style
- Writing types
- Editing and publishing
- Further inspiration (Mister Rogers)
- Writing assistance (Grammarly and generative AI)
- Writing mechanics (Fleet-specific conventions across all writing)
- Writing in Fleet-flavored Markdown (rules specific to the website)
The old structure mixed values, style, rules, and process, which made it
hard to scan. This new hierarchy separates high-level principles from
detailed rules and tool guidance, so contributors can find what they
need more quickly.
### Next steps
I plan to circle back to optimize the Mechanics section:
- Trim redundant content
- Make examples consistent in style
- Improve the order of rules
