<title>Golden Rules</title>
<p>
All help is welcome building and maintaining Forrest documentation. But
please take the time to read this before you start.
</p>
<ul>
<li><p>
Never physically move an existing file in docs unless you really
have to. Consider the alternative of moving the file in site. See
site for examples.
</p></li>
<li><p>
If you physically move a file, make sure you add an entry in the
section '# Some moved documents' of
<code>site-author/content/.htaccess</code>. The entry will redirect
visitors from old (invalid) urls to the new URL of a resource and
should look like this:
<br/>
<code>RedirectMatch ^/[old URL] http://[new URL]</code>
</p></li>
</ul>
