 * Your documentation must come with an official icon, in both 1x and 2x resolutions (16x16 and 32x32 pixels). This is important because icons are the only thing differentiating search results in the UI.
 * DevDocs favors quality over quantity. Your documentation should only include documents that most developers may want to read semi-regularly. By reducing the number of entries, we make it easier to find other, more relevant entries.
-* Try to remove as much content and HTML markup as possible, particularly content which isn't associated with any entries (e.g. introduction, changelog, etc.).
+* Remove as much content and HTML markup as possible, particularly content not associated with any entry (e.g. introduction, changelog, etc.).
 * Names must be as short as possible and unique across the documentation.
 * The number of types (categories) should ideally be less than 100.
 * Don't modify the icon sprite. I'll do it after your pull request is merged.
 
 ## Updating existing documentations
 
-Please don't submit a pull request updating the version number of a documentation unless you've verified that it can be generated properly using the current code. Because the original content will have changed, the code will likely need to be tweaked.

 The app's main goals are to: keep load times as short as possible; improve the quality, speed, and order of search results; maximize the use of caching and other performance optimizations; maintain a clean and readable user interface; be fully functional offline; support full keyboard navigation; reduce “context switch” by using a consistent typography and design across all documentations; reduce clutter by focusing on a specific category of content (API/reference) and indexing only the minimum useful to most developers.
 
-**Note:** DevDocs is neither a programming guide nor a search engine. All our content is pulled from third-party sources and the project doesn't intend to compete with full-text search engines. Its backbone is metadata: each piece of content is identified by a unique, "obvious" and short string. Tutorials, guides and other content that don't meet this requirement are outside the scope of the project.

 ## App
 
-The web app is all client-side JavaScript, written in [CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org), and powered by a small [Sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com)/[Sprockets](https://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets) application. It relies on files generated by the [scraper](#scraper).

 Many of the code's design decisions were driven by the fact that the app uses XHR to load content directly into the main frame. This includes stripping the original documents of most of their HTML markup (e.g. scripts and stylesheets) to avoid polluting the main frame, and prefixing all CSS class names with an underscore to prevent conflicts.
