Project Definition

[ADD DEFINITION]

Introduction To The Project

What is the Guides Team?

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

Why do it?

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

Hasn't it been done already?

We have surveyed many Civic Tech organizations, from 18F to Code for America. They all have some guides, but none have a comprehensive set.

So how is this different?

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.

Guiding Objectives

What are our guiding objectives?

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.
