Adding new repo

When adding a new repo for new game system, consider these things:

  • repo address should be short, memorable and consist of small letters and dashes examples below;
  • repo name/title should be written as it is originally examples below;
  • create README - it is kind of a landing page for people who wandered onto repo website;
  • provide link in Organisation Wiki page
  • add the repo to appropriate org team - otherwise people won't be able to upload any commits

###Address/name examples:

address: wh40k

name: Warhammer 40k

address: battlefleetgothic

name: Battlefleet Gothic

###Create README

For consistency, copy-paste the contents below and rename title appropriately. You can of course add something about repo from yourself :)

Warhammer 40,000

__What's this?__

BSData organisation created this project. It's GitHub repository of datafiles.
Maintained by community, in no way endorsed by BattleScribe. If you want
to develop - cool! We need you! Take a look at [Getting Started wiki][]

__Okay, nice project. Is it actually working?__ _I just want those files..._

Yeah! We have it hosted on AppSpot. Take a look: [BattleScribe Data on Appspot][]

[Getting Started wiki]: https://github.com/BSData/bsdata/wiki/Home#getting-started

###Provide link

Add a link on the Joining Repository: click Edit, find 5th point in Getting Started section (##Getting started##), and add (in alphanumerically correct order) a position:

      * [RepoTitle](https://github.com/BSData/repo-address/issues/new?title=[Join%20Request])

where:

  • RepoTitle is what users will see, the text of the link (repo title, full name);
  • repo-address is the address of repo, ie wh40k for Warhammer 40k (you see it in address bar in browser);
