This is a list of articles to port. Several people are interested, so please put your name by the one you're working on.

Also, I'm not sure all of these need to be mirrored. For example, the articles on deploying to specific vendor platforms specially for the event that are highly subject to change. It's fine if you port those, but make them lower priority.

What do do

  1. Fork this repo
  2. create a new article with a short-and-meaningful name as name.markdown and name/ in the articles folder.
  3. convert the posterous article to markdown (hint pandoc and curl are your friends)
  4. strip out extra stuff (like the comments section and the headers)
  5. Add headers for title, tested node version, date, etc.
  6. Add an author file in the authors/ folder if one doesn't exist (for the person who wrote the article, not you). The most important is email (used for gravatar)
  7. Move code snippets to their own files when it would be in it's own file normally (IE about everything except bash commands that aren't .sh scripts)
  8. Install wheat and spark locally using npm
  9. type spark in the root of the howtonode.org working directory. This will launch a local version.
  10. Make sure everything looks right in the real local site
  11. Put a new datestamp in the markdown file (using (new Date()).toString() in a node repl) and send me a pull request.
