**What is not (and will not) be in here:**

- Documentation for [Largo](http://largoproject.org) and some of our other large projects which will typically be kept with their respective project repos as well as on [Read the Docs](https://readthedocs.org/).
- Documentation for our other apps/tools/etc. (e.g. our [deployment tools](https://github.com/INN/deploy-tools) or our [responsive tables](https://github.com/INN/responsive-tables) rig) that are on the smaller side will typically reside within those repos directly as a readme file at the root of the repository.

**Important Note:** Nothing in these docs supercedes what you'll find in the [INN employee manual](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MkXPsg6nD3yAfwXWczhscdoze7QhHgsrd_vLK1uQPB4/edit). Always refer to that for any personnel, hiring, payroll, etc. issues.

### Thanks!

- [ProPublica's News App and Data Style Guides](https://github.com/propublica/guides)
- The NPR Visuals Team's [app template](https://github.com/nprapps/app-template), [coding best practices](https://github.com/nprapps/bestpractices) and [manifesto](http://blog.apps.npr.org/2014/06/04/how-we-work.html)
- [Guides](https://github.com/newsapps/guides) and [Process Docs](https://web.archive.org/web/20160909203500/http://blog.apps.chicagotribune.com/2014/03/05/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-the-news-apps-process/) from The Chicago Tribune's News Apps Team
