  2. If licensed, it should be of the open-source variety (GPL, MIT, CC) and be sure to reference it.
  3. It should exhibit the principles of source-first design, unobtrusive scripting, and separation of style from content. (e.g. CSS, external js) where applicable.
  4. The author should be willing to make minor modifications if needed or have them done.

All submissions to this site must meet the following standards, if applicable:

  1. HTML will be tested against HTML 4.1 strict and XHTML 1.0 strict. XHTML 1.0 transitional is allowable if unavoidable.
  2. CSS must conform to CSS 2.0+ standards
  3. Javascript, Perl and PHP must run without errors or warnings. It is understood that sometimes server settings may cause warnings.
  4. Perl code should use strict, and run in taint-mode (-T)
  5. PHP should use full tags for cross-platform compatability, and be able to run with register_globals off.
  6. Any output from static pages or script should validate when checked with W3C.
  7. Output must be rendered in content-first format, using CSS to style the display, if needed.
