as stated in #207, we should discuss the guidelines about what is awesome here.

If you want your list to be included on awesome, you should really just include awesome stuff.

This makes me think this is a list of rules to be included in the list. It should just be a list of tips/guidelines about how to make your lists more awesome.

awesome.md

+## Include contribution guidelines
+
+People who are contributing to your list should have a clear understanding how they should do so. You could copy a contributing.md from another awesome repository you like.


This also needs to explain what the contributing guidelines should guide about: formatting of the list, order, ...

These => https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/master/contributing.md

You could copy a contributing.md from another awesome repository you like.

Isn't this enough?

Okay but then link up a good one (ours, for example)

Is the link target correct? "no-license" looks like the wrong target.

@h4cc Yup, you're right, it should link to the homepage. I originally wanted to explain what happens when you don't select a license and I forgot to change it once I paraphrased the paragraph.

so, does it look finished for the moment? Should we merge it?

One small suggestion:

You could just copy a contributing.md from another awesome repository you like if you don't feel like writing a new one from scratch.

I bolded the words I think should be added. In my opinion, by leaving it like this, we're kind of encouraging people to just copy that file. In my opinion, that file should be a bit more descriptive and kind of depends on the topic of the list.

h4cc · 2015-07-02T08:21:40Z

I am kind of confused about the explanation "what is awesome". Should the list itself be awesome, or the linked content?
In my case the awesome-elixir list is the current only resource for easy finding any elixir/erlang library out there - thats what makes itself awesome, not every linked content is awesome too. So i have even duplicate entries in there.

A focus on the awesomeness of the list itself would be a better fit, i think.

inputsh · 2015-07-02T09:28:17Z

Should the list itself be awesome, or the linked content?

Both. It should link only to awesome resources and the list itself needs to be awesome (basically to follow everything from this pull request).

If you want your list to be included on awesome, try to only include awesome stuff in your list. After all, it's a curation, not a collection.

n1trux · 2015-07-09T13:04:04Z

@strugee because it highlights the dangers of choosing no license.

@sindresorhus incorporated your suggestions.
