Editing Author style guide (section)

== Design Considerations ==
Wiki self-similar design leads to

# better understanding & more efficient navigation and learning
# quicker wiki development
# more convergent vision of the document, helping to resolve debates.

The goal is to build an accurate, useful, and attractive document.  

We will try to follow many conventions of Wikipedia. For example, 

* Each time a term is used for the first time on a page, it is linked to the page/section that defines it. The second and later time that term is used, do not link.
* Lengths of pages should be constrained above and below. A page that is too complicated should be summarized and split into multiple pages. A page that is too short is a [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Stub|stub]] and should be elaborated or deleted and reincorporated in the root page.

We try to follow Wikipedia’s style guide for three reasons. First, out of respect for the most effective decentralized organization ever created. Second, people are already trained to navigate Wikpedia's page style, so it will lead to greater learning efficiency. Third, if we have an improvement, we should first try to convince Wikipedia to change.
