Please follow the instructions below on how to submit your story for publication.
- Upon a project's completion, it is the time for dissemination.
- Create an issue with the title of the story to keep track of the task (e.g., this story issue). Please remember to link the story issue to the proposal issue (e.g., this proposal) on Operations.
- Finalize the text (include link on the issue). If necessary, coordinate Development and Data Partner approval(s).
- Once the text is ready, it is now time to submit the story. We adopted the Feature Branch Workflow. All content must be in Markdown (see reference) and must be located under content
- Clone the repository (if you haven't already) and create a feature branch.
- On your local repository and on your feature branch, create a story folder under
content/updates/, e.g. content/updates/africa-digital-transformation. Create a blog postindex.mdfile in Markdown using the Story Template. TIP: you may use word2md. - Add figures to the same folder and use a relative path in Markdown (see below).
- Open a pull request and assign a maintainer as reviewer.
- The story will be published after the reviewer approves and merges the content to
main.
To add an image to your story, upload a .png or .jpeg image to the story folder. Remember to use a relative path in Markdown.
