goals

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!

formatting

width

the maximum length of a line should be 75 characters so that it comfortably fits in the alpine window.

separators

use 75 dashes as a content separator:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

headings

subheadings are created using figlet with the font smslant. you can invoke it all like:

figlet -f smslant tilde.town times

sub-headings

I have just made them ALL CAPS!!!! but it is up to you how to format them idk

referencing other users

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").

spelling, grammar

nobody cares just try to be honest and true to yourself. typos are welcome because they are a beautiful reminder of our fallibility.
