<h2>Commit messages</h2>
* Commit messages should use the imperative voice.
* Commit messages should be no more than ≈ 50 characters long.
* If more explanation is needed, create a ticket and cross-reference it with the commit message.
* Comments added to tickets in connection with a resolving check-in should describe <em>why</em> the change was made, not <em>how</em> (the code does that part already).
<h2>Prose</h2>
* <i>The Local Yarn</i> should be italicized.
* <i>The Local Yarn</i> is emphatically not “a web site”.
<h2>Punctuation</h2>
* In a list of <em>actions</em>, list items should end with a period.
* In a list of <em>things</em>, list items should not end with a period.
* Place trailing commas and periods outside of quotation marks unless they are part of the quoted text.
