DigitalOcean Article Guidelines
Philosophy:
DigitalOcean articles are written with the reader in mind! This is what distinguishes
the DigitalOcean community from other knowledge bases. In practical terms, this
means that an article’s author should:
● make no assumptions about the reader’s background knowledge of the
subject
● explicitly spell out each step with as much clarity as humanly possible
● test their tutorials on a fresh server to ensure they work from scratch
● write the tutorial to be understood by any smart user
Hire the right team

Background:
● English major
● Strong writer and editor
● Passionate about technology
● No Linux experience at the time
Training Materials:
Leverage the community
