# Introduction
This is a collection of design documents, formerly maintained in various
different locations and formats, now grouped together and converted
to commonmark.
# Contributing
## Style
We will follow the commonmark specification.
We *should* try to follow this
[style guide](http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-style-guide/#about),
but are still [evaluating solutions](https://github.com/jgm/cmark/issues/131)
for *stable* automatic formatting.
80 columns line width is thus not yet enforced, but strongly suggested.
# Build a web portal from the sources
## Install dependencies
* Follow [hotdoc's installation guide](https://people.collabora.com/~meh/hotdoc_hotdoc/html/installing.html),
preferably in a virtualenv.
* We *experimentally* use the hotdoc C extension to include functions by
name, follow the steps outlined [here](https://github.com/hotdoc/hotdoc_c_extension)
* Build the portal:
```
make
```
* And browse it:
```
gio open built_doc/html/index.html
```
