Contributing

Make sure to always follow the latest version of the CONTRIBUTING.md file

Contributions to the SNU project are allowed, as long as you follow these contributing guidelines:

  • Keep it professional

Please refrain from using swearing, using slurs, or other bad words when committing

  • Do not modify snapshot files

Snapshot files serve as an archive of old versions of pages. Do not edit or delete these files

  • Create snapshot files after each verified commit

You have to create archives of your work after each commit to a file. For snapshots, just copy and paste the file you edited with the contents you edited, and save it in the OldVersions/ directory with the original name, followed by _snapshot then a number that is 1 above the previous snapshot

  • Do not modify certain files

Only approved high-level contributers can modify certain files, such as Wiki pages, contributing.md, README.md, and the license.

  • Do not add in tracking scripts

Trackers are not allowed in any of my projects. Please keep backdoors, trackers, rootkits, keyloggers, and other privacy invasive features out of every file,

  • Keep it efficient

These pages should be able to quickly load with less than 10 megabits of bandwidth speed. Please do not bog down page performance.

  • Don't add images without permission

Images are sensitive for this project and will need to be approved before they can be committed.

Please make sure to follow these rules to develop here.

  • Don't modify the Wiki without permission

The Wiki is important for certain information and shouldn't be vandalized. Ask before modifying it. You must get approval from SeanPM2001 or another contributer of high level to the SNU project.

  • Don't blank out files

Blanking out files is considered vandalism. Do not delete all the contents of a file.

  • Don't add copyrighted material without permission

Copyrighted material needs permission to be added. You can't upload copyrighted material without permission. Some copyright holders to be aware of include Nintendo, Fox, Viacom, UMG, and many others. The ones listed are very strict on copyright and will try to hurt you over the littlest of things.

  • No vandalism

Do not vandalize anything. This is pretty straightforward. If you are unsure what counts as vandalism, read other entries in this file.

  • Keep your commits professional

Please document your commits well, but refrain from using swear words, slurs, or other bad words, unless you are referencing a file.

  • Do not delete lone IGNORE.md files

IGNORE.md files should not be deleted if they are the only file in the folder/directory. If there is only an IGNORE.md file in a directory, it means the local repository had a blank directory, and I had to create an IGNORE.md file on GitHub, since you can't create empty folders/directories on GitHub.

  • Do not start writing in other languages without permission

Do not start writing in a new language without permission. You can modify the current files with the current languages, but new languages would need approval first.

  • Fix as many bugs as possible

In recent files, try to find and fix as many bugs as possible. If you are not capable of this, you can do other things, or you can make spelling corrections only if you are really good at the language you are writing in.

Note about Adobe Flash

I am using Adobe Flash (ActionScript 2.0) for this project for legacy purposes.

ActionScript 2.0 is the pre-Adobe version of Flash. I may start using AS 3.0. I also intend to use Python, JavaScript, and HTML5 as a fallback.

ADOBE FLASH END OF LIFE

On December 31st 2020, Adobe will end support for Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash has been discontinued in favor of other technologies such as HTML5

Many web browsers have already started to end support, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, etc.

Adobe Flash has been in decline since 2010. The announcement of the end of life came from Adobe in July of 2017.
