Make sure to search existing issues, as your question may already have been asked and answered.  The FAQs have `FAQ` label attached.\n\n### [View All Questions](https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues)\n### [View FAQs](https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues)\n### [Ask a new Question](https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/new)\n_Please search first!_\n\nWe close `question` issues which have been answered: if you would like to help answer questions, you can use [this search](https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93\u0026q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+-label%3Aanswered) to find unanswered questions.\n\n## Table of Contents\n\n- [Usage](#usage)\n    - [Comment!](#comment)\n    - [Use \"WIP\" in the question title to denote a \"Work In Progress\" answer.](#use-wip-in-the-question-title-to-denote-a-work-in-progress-answer)\n    - [Rendering to a page](#rendering-to-a-page)\n- [Contribute](#contribute)\n- [License](#license)\n\n## Usage\n\n#### Comment!\n\nWe hope that this FAQ would help answering a lot of questions, and it might become difficult for the DataLad team to go through the backlog and refine answers for older questions. If you think a question hasn't been answered adequately, comment on it, and we'll look at it. Unlike on the rest of GitHub, using :thumb: or '+1' is actively encouraged as a way to show that a question should be brought back to our attention.\n\n#### Use \"WIP\" in the question title to denote a \"Work In Progress\" answer.\n\nWe will mark any Q/As with `WIP` when the answer is long, complex, and likely to evolve over time. It is very important to signal when we think something is roughly \"a final answer\", versus \"a place to jot down notes and point others for quick disambiguation\". Many answers, like comparisons to other systems, will be WIPs for a while.\n\n#### Rendering to a page\n\nThe \"best\" questions and answers will later be compiled into a webpage rendered at http://docs.datalad.org (still TODO)\n\n## Contribute\n\nFeel free to join in and ask or answer questions in the issues. No helpful comment is too small, no answer too big.\n\n**Want to hack on DataLad?**\n\nWe welcome contributions beyond Q/As.  If you would like to contribute to the code-base, you might benefit from glancing over\n[CONBTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/datalad/datalad/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)\n\n## License\n\n\u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThis work is licensed under a \u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/\"\u003eCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License\u003c/a\u003e.\n\nThe idea of FAQ repo was given by @satra with [IPFS FAQ](https://github.com/ipfs/faq) was given as an example, from which the base for this `README.md` was taken.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdatalad%2Ffaq","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdatalad%2Ffaq","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdatalad%2Ffaq/lists"}
