-provide about your Vim version, the linter you were trying to run, your
-operating system, or any other information you think might be helpful.
-
-Please describe your issue in clear, grammatically correct, and easy to

+
+## 1. Guidelines
+
+Have fun, and work on whatever floats your boat. Take It Easy :tm:.
+
+Don't forget to **write documentation** for whatever it is you are doing.
+See the ["Writing Documentation"](#writing-documentation) section.
+
+Remember to write Vader tests for most of the code you write. You can look at
+existing Vader tests in the `test` directory for examples.
+
+When writing code, follow the [Google Vimscript Style
+Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/vimscriptguide.xml), and run `vint
+-s` on your files to check for most of what the guide mentions and more. If you
+install this plugin (ALE) and install [Vint](https://github.com/Kuniwak/vint), it
+will check your code while you type.
+
+<a name="issues"></a>
+
+## 2. Creating Issues
+
+Before creating any issues, please look through the current list of issues and
+pull requests, and ensure that the issue hasn't already been reported. If an
+issue has already been reported, but you have some new insight, please add
+a comment to the existing issue.
+
+Please read the FAQ in the README before creating any issues. A feature
+you desire may already exist and be documented, or the FAQ might explain
+how to solve a problem you have already.
+
+Please try and describe any issues reported with as much detail as you can
+provide about your Vim version, the linter you were trying to run, your
+operating system, or any other information you think might be helpful.
+
+Please describe your issue in clear, grammatically correct, and easy to
+understand English. You are more likely to see an issue resolved if others
+can understand you.
+
+<a name="pull-requests"></a>
+
+## 3. Creating Pull Requests
+
+For code you write, make sure to credit yourself at the top of files you add,
+and probably those you modify. You can write some comments at the top of your
+VIM files.
+
+```vim
+" Author: John Smith <john.smith@gmail.com>
+" Description: This file adds support for awesomelinter for the best language ever.
+```
+
+If you want to credit multiple authors, you can comma separate them.
+
+```vim
+" Author: John Smith <john.smith@gmail.com>, Jane Doe <https://jane-doe.info>
+```
+
+<a name="adding-a-new-linter"></a>
+
+### 3.i. Adding a New Linter
+
+If you add a new linter, look for existing handlers first in the
+[handlers](autoload/ale/handlers) directory. One of the handlers there may
+already be able to handle your lines of output. If you find that your new
+linter replicates an existing error handler, consider pulling it up into the
+[handlers](autoload/ale/handlers) directory, and use the generic handler in
+both places.
+
+When you add a linter, make sure the language for the linter and the linter
+itself are present in the table in the [README.md](README.md) file and in the
+Vim [help file](doc/ale.txt). The programs and linters should be sorted
+alphabetically in the table and list.
+
+<a name="adding-new-options"></a>
+
+### 3.ii. Adding New Options
+
+If you add new options to the plugin, make sure to document those new options
+in the [README.md](README.md) file, and also in the [help file](doc/ale.txt).
+Follow the format of other options in each. Global options should appear in the
+README file, and in the relevant section in the help file. Options specific
+to a particular linter should appear in the section for that linter.
+
+Linter options for customizing general argument lists should be named
+`g:ale_<filetype>_<linter>_options`, so that all linters can have similar
+global variable names.
+
+Any options for linters should be set to some default value so it is always
+easy to see what the default is with `:echo g:ale...`.
+
+<a name="writing-documentation"></a>
+
+## 4. Writing Documentation
+
+If you are adding new linters, changing the API, adding new options, etc., you
+_must_ write some documentation describing it in the `doc/ale.txt` file.  New
+linters _must_ be added to the `README.md` file too, so other users can get a
+quick overview of the supported tools.
+
+<a name="documenting-new-linters"></a>
+
+### 4.i Documenting New Linters
+
+If you add a new linter to the project, edit the table in the `README.md` file,
+and edit the list of linters at the top of the `doc/ale.txt` file. The linters
+should be sorted vertically in lexicographic (alphabetical) order by the
+programming language name or filetype, and the tools for each language should
+be sorted in lexicographic order horizontally. Sorting in this manner is a fair
+manner of presenting all of the information in an easy to scan way, without
+giving some unfair preference to any particular tool or language.
+
+<a name="editing-online-documentation"></a>
+
+### 4.ii Editing the Online Documentation
+
+The "online documentation" file used for this project lives in `doc/ale.txt`.
+This is the file used for generating `:help` text inside Vim itself. There are
+some guidelines to follow for this file.
+
+1. Keep all text within a column size of 79 characters, inclusive.
+2. Open a section with 79 `=` or `-` characters, for headings and subheadings.
+3. Sections should have a _single_ blank line before or after.
+4. Between descriptions of variables/functions/commands, use _two_ blank lines.
+5. Up-indent the description of a variable/function/command by two spaces.
+6. Place tags at the ends of lines, with the final characters on column 79.
+   All of the tags should line up perfectly on the same column as you scan
+   down through the document.
+7. Keep the table of contents balanced so the longest tag link ends on column
+   79, and so all links line up perfectly on their first character, on the
+   left.
+
+<a name="documenting-linter-options"></a>
+
+### 4.iii Documenting Linter Options
+
+For documenting new linter options, please add a new sub-section under the
+"Linter Specific Options" section describing all of the global options added
+for each linter, and what the default values of the options are. All global
+options for linters should be set to some default value. This will allow users
+to look up the default value easily by typing `:echo g:ale_...`.
+
+<a name="in-case-of-busses"></a>
+
+## 5. In Case of Busses
+
+Should the principal author of the ALE project and all collaborators with the
+required access needed to properly administrate the project on GitHub or any
+other website either perish or disappear, whether by tragic traffic accident
+or government abduction, etc., action should be taken to ensure that the
+project continues. If no one is left to administer the project where it is
+hosted, please fork the project and nominate someone capable to administer it.
+Preferably, in such an event, a single fork of the project will replace the
+original, and life will go on, except the life of whoever vanished, because
+then they will probably be dead.
+
+Should w0rp suddenly disappear, then he was probably killed in a traffic
+accident, or the government finally decided to kill him and make it look like
+suicide. In the latter event, please subvert said government and restore
+order to the universe, and ensure peace for mankind.

-### 5.xiii. How can I check Vue files with ESLint?
-
-To check Vue files with ESLint, your ESLint project configuration file must be
-configured to use the [Vue plugin](https://github.com/vuejs/eslint-plugin-vue).
-After that, you need to configure ALE so it will run the JavaScript ESLint
-linter on your files. The settings you need are similar to the settings needed
-for checking JSX code with both stylelint and ESLint, in the previous section.
-
-```vim
-" In ~/.vim/ftplugin/vue.vim, or somewhere similar.
-
-" Run both javascript and vue linters for vue files.
-let b:ale_linter_aliases = ['javascript', 'vue']
-" Select the eslint and vls linters.
-let b:ale_linters = ['eslint', 'vls']
-```
-
-Run `:ALEInfo` to see which linters are available after telling ALE to run
-JavaScript linters on Vue files. Not all linters support checking Vue files.
-
-If you don't want to configure your linters in ftplugin files for some reason,
-you can configure them from your vimrc file instead.
-
-```vim
-" In ~/.vim/vimrc, or somewhere similar.
-let g:ale_linter_aliases = {'vue': ['vue', 'javascript']}
