# Contribution Guidelines
Please ensure your pull request adheres to the following guidelines:
- Read [the awesome manifesto](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/master/awesome.md) and ensure your list complies.
- Wait at least a couple of weeks after creating a list before submitting to give it a chance to mature.
- Search previous suggestions before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate.
- Make sure your list is useful before submitting. That implies it having enough content and every item a good succinct description.
- A link back to this list from yours, so users can discover more lists, would be appreciated.
- Make an individual pull request for each suggestion.
- Titles should be [capitalized](http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/capitalization/rules-for-capitalization-in-titles.html).
- Use the following format: `[List Name](link)`
- Link additions should be added to the bottom of the relevant category.
- New categories or improvements to the existing categorization are welcome.
- Check your spelling and grammar.
- Make sure your text editor is set to remove trailing whitespace.
- The pull request and commit should have a useful title.
Thank you for your suggestions!
