This site provides the collection of our current policies on the Humanitarian Toolbox. In most cases, consider the guidance here as our current "default answer" to many important questios.

If you are working on a project, and you have a different recommendation, we will consider that request for a single project. IF it works well in that project, we will consdier making it the default answer on new projects. We'll also consider adding that new policy to existing projects, in those cases where the benefits justify the work.

The site is built using Jekyll, so that we can easily support markdown formatted pages. Here are some important resources to get started:

This Github guide to creating pages with the automated generator shows the basics: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-pages-with-the-automatic-generator/

This article explains how Github uses Jekyll to generate the site: https://help.github.com/articles/using-jekyll-with-pages/

If you have a procedure or a tool you'd like us to adopt, please send us a PR. This repository, like all of the HTbox projects, is open source, and we welcome your thoughts.
