* Staging Domain: [http://stage.learn.jquery.com](http://stage.learn.jquery.com) *(not currently up to date)*

This site consists of content maintained in [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) files. For authoring and previewing content, these files are processed by [nanoc](http://nanoc.stoneship.org/), a Ruby-based [static site generator](http://www.mickgardner.com/2011/04/27/An-Introduction-To-Static-Site-Generators.html). For production on [learn.jquery.com](http://learn.jquery.com), the result of nanoc is post-processed by a node.js script that populates pages into the learning section of the jQuery Wordpress network. The template that controls the site's presentation is a [child theme](https://github.com/jquery/web-base-template/tree/master/themes/learn-jquery-com) of the jQuery [web base template](https://github.com/jquery/web-base-template), and any issues with the presentation should be directed to [that repository](https://github.com/jquery/web-base-template).

All of the content lives inside of the subdirectories of the `content` directory. Each of these subdirectories is considered a **category**, and contains one or more **articles** as well as a `dex.md` file that specifies the category's human-readable title, as well as an overview of the category for its landing page. The order that categories and articles appear in the site is controlled by the [`order.yml`](https://github.com/jquery/learn.jquery.com/blob/master/order.yml) file, which simply lists the folder names and file names in the order they should appear. Categories or articles that do not appear in this file will not be published in the production site.

Each of the articles on the site has some [YAML "Front Matter"](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/YAML-Front-Matter) that contains metadata. All articles should include the following:

* title - the title of the article as it will appear in the site. if it contains special characters, put the string in quotes

* level - the approximate level of jQuery experience required to find the article useful. must be `beginner`, `intermediate`, or `advanced`

* github - the github username of the person to whom the article should be [publicly attributed in the footer](http://learn.jqnetwork.dev/using-jquery-core/feature-browser-detection/). defaults to `jquery`. **We will likely be improving this to use GitHub's API to figure out who's worked a given article**

In addition, there is an `attribution` property, which contains a list of names of people who have worked on the article. It is not used in the site rendering, but is there for what we'll refer to as "historical purposes," as it is most often used to refer to work originally from jQuery Fundamentals. It can be a simple

or a YAML list
