DRAFT NOT YET FILLED OUT. -- see the Civic Tech Index wiki for a working example.
The Hack for LA Guides project is creating guides and templates from the effective practices that HfLA has developed and iterated from our projects. HfLA Guides aim to share replicable processes and practices from Engineering, UI/UX, Product Management, Data Science, Marketing Fundraising, DevOps, Admin, and Professional Development. The project seeks to further grow HfLA’s peer learning and iterative culture, and ultimately improve outcomes for the entire civic tech ecosystem.
The Guides Team is a group of people dedicated to managing and creating automated processes for the guides from the different Communities of Practice in Hack For LA
The Guides Team manage guides in order to help both Hack For LA volunteers and anyone on the internet find necessary resources they need to do a practice
We have surveyed many Civic Tech organizations, from 18F to Code for America. They all have some guides, but none have a comprehensive set.
We aim to create a set of tactical guides with practical examples from real projects. Ideally you would take guidance, from working projects. Meaning, guidance without proof that it's coming from a successful example is less valuable than one that you can see working. For instance, people often reference practices at companies like eBay, Amazon, Google, etc. As evidence for the quality of the practice.
Make guidance so simple to follow that even a total novice can do the practice effectively. Work with people who are doing the practice to understand what works and what does not.

The Wiki is a working document and we would love to improve it. Please compile any questions and suggestions you may have and submit it via creating an issue.
