Acknowledgement of contributors

Contributors will be shown at the bottom of the page if listed in the metadata of the markdown file. All contributors will also be displayed in the contributors page. If you want to link your GitHub account, ORCID or email address, please add your name and corresponding information to the CONTRIBUTORS file.

Ownership of content

The content on the Lesson Plans is a community effort, with many people contributing. Decisions are driven by consensus among the contributors and reviewers.

The information is updated on a regular basis, and anybody can make changes to it without informing others. However, the Lesson Plan editors will make sure that material is only changed for valid reasons and that it accurately represents the general consensus on any given subject.

If you find any content unsatisfactory, please feel free to create an issue about it.
