Glad to see you here!
The Coral Cookbook is a (mostly) consumer-driven resource aimed at sharing knowledge in a way that is accessible, engaging, and enriching for all of Coral's consumers.
Before contributing, it could be worth checking in our feedback channel to see if someone else is already working on something similar, or has already achieved what you're looking to introduce. That way you can avoid duplicating efforts.
What makes a good contribution?
Generally, we have found that the best contributions to the Cookbook are useful, novel or creative, or a combination of these.
- Useful: Involves concepts or techniques that can be applied broadly and often, and can translate to practical use-cases and solving real-world problems. If you're doing something often, chances are others are too, and having reusable examples to reference can be very helpful.
- Novel: Showcases development that solves a problem you think other consumers might not have had before.
- Creative: Uses Coral in creative and innovative ways, things that push the limits of the design system to the edge.
Additionally, we strive to maintain a neutral tone, and aim for high quality writing.
- Neutral: Maintains a neutral stance on best practices. While it's natural to have preferences for particular tools, a good guide avoids over-evangelizing or marketing specific ways of working, ensuring integrity and inclusivity.
- High quality: Well structured, clear and complete. Writing good content ensures others can fully benefit from it.
