Attributing technical work clearly

Distinguish authors, reviewers and implementers and confirm names and titles. Let technical explanation carry the article rather than relying on awards.

Putting content management into practice

A content model defines independently maintained and reusable information. Authoring, preview, approval and publication form a workflow; an API response validates only one part.

Checking the result

Have real editors create, change and restore content using long headings, missing fields and multiple languages. Record development dependencies and release ownership.
