+# An Example of a Website Development Process
 
----
+Using a Static-Site-Generation tool named _HUGO_ and a repository made up of markdown files, images/videos and HTML templates.
 
-To add your competition entry, you need to clone the repo to your computer using Vscode and then:
+Below is a diagram of what happens each time we change the repository:  
 
-1. Create a new branch using the version control tab in vscode, please use "`first`-`last`" as the name of the branch where `first` is your first (i.e. _given_) name and `last` is your last (i.e. _family_) name.
-2. Rename the visualization video files to "`first`-`no`.mp4" where `first` is your first (i.e. _given_) name and `no` is a sequential number (e.g. "orwa-1.mp4", "orwa-2.mp4", etc.). If you are competing with one entry, then name the file "`first`.mp4" where `first` is your first (i.e. _given_) name.
-3. Store the video files in the subfolder `./static/video` in this repository
-4. Add your entry article and documentation to `./content/post` in this repository (please use the `2021-12-01-orwa-diraneyya.md` as an example)
-5. Commit your changes locally
-6. Push your commits to the remote
-7. Go to GitLab and create a merge request from there
+![HUGO Diagram](./docs/HUGO_big_picture.plain.svg)
+
+In any development team, you have to be on the same page with other developers in the team with regard to:
+1. The _file-naming policy_: how to name the files we add to the repo in different directories
+1. The _branch-naming policy_: how do we call our branches
+1. The _merge-request documentation_:
+  - when to mark the merge request as a draft, 
+  - how to name the merge request,
+  - what information to add to the merge-request body
+
+In the session on the 1st of December, 2021 of the DSSIPD course, **we did not have clear policies.** This resulted in a lot of inconsistency which would make managing the development difficult, and hence would be unacceptable in a professional environment.
+
+Hence, when joining a new development team, even if you are a consultant, a content creator, or a manager, it is important to ask how things are expected to be done to maximize the impact of your contributions and to minimize friction with coworkers and line managers.
+
+## Contribution Guidelines to this Repo
+
+In order to mitigate the problems above and to help you grow professionally, we came up with the following guidelines after the session on the 1st of December:
+
+1. **Filenames:** all filenmes should be in small-caps, dashes in-between words, and no spaces/special characters. More specifically:
+    1. Filenames in `./static/videos/` (for the competition entry videos) use either your first name or your last name, depending on which one is more unique (if both are equally unique, then it is up to you to decide). If more than one video needs to be pushed, use a dash and a number before the extension (e.g. `orwa-1.mp4`, `orwa-2.mp4`)
+    1. Filenames in `./content/post` (for the competition entry articles) follow the format "`YYYY`-`MM`-`DD`-`first`-`last`.md" (please see the examples in that directory)
+1. **Branch names:**
+    1. For branches adding a new competition entry: use _"competition-`first`-`last`"_ to indicate that it is a branch designating a competition entry and that it belongs to you.
+    1. For branches fixing an issue: use _"bugfix-issue-`number`"_ where `number` is the issue number.
+    1. For branches fixing a problem that had not been documented in an issue: use _"bugfix-`first`-`last`"_
+    1. For other types of improvements after your requirements are met: use _"feature-(`first`|`last`)-`...`"_ where the part _(`A`|`B`)_ means either `A` or `B` and the three dots `...` stand for anything you want assuming it is:
+        1. All in small caps
+        1. Uses dashes in-between the words
+        1. No special characters
+1. **Merge request:** please mark the merge request as a draft until you are sure that it runs correctly (using the *preview_website* batch file ran locally) and that all the changes you have made locally are already pushed to your branch on the remote. The title for the merge request should be:
+    1. "Competition entry for `first` `last`" in case of requesting a merge of a competition entry
+    1. "Bugfix for issue #`number`" in case of requetsing a merge of a requested change (using the _issues_ feature in GitLab)
+    1. "Improved `first` `last`'s content" in cae of requesting a merge of an improved `.md` page
+
+In the meantime, we do not require any information or documents to be attached to the body of the merge request.
+
+## Adding a competition entry
+
+After creating your own branch (following the guidelines above). Follow these steps:
+
+1. Look for your video file in the `./static/video` folder on this repo, this has one of two possible outcomes:
+    1. You found the video file(s), they have been pushed by the instructor from Moodle. Keep note of the filename stem (without the extension), and let's call that `video` and go to step 2 below.
+    1. The file is not there, because you did not submit on time. In this case, you will have to commit your video file to `./content/video` (please follow the naming guidelines above). The stem of this filename (without the extension) is assume to be `video` in step 2 below.
+2. After you identified the video, this is the time to add **a new `.md` file** in the `./content/post` directory of the repo (please follow the naming guidelines above). In this file, please use the contents of `2021-12-01-orwa-diraneyya.md` as a template while changing this line:
+    ```
+    {{<video "...">}}
+    ``` 
+    to include the video filename stem `video` where the three dots `...` are (without the extension).
+3. Use the `preview_website.bat` batch file to ensure that the two changes above result in adding your competition entry to the showdown website.
+4. Commit the changes above to **your own created branch** and push the chages to the remote.
+5. Go to [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/rwth-crmasters-wise2122/deep-music-visualizer-showdown) and create a merge request (please follow the merge-requet guidelines above).

+
+This is Dominik's entry for the competition.
+
+I made two videos, I was inspired by the type of music I heard at the _underground techno parties_ in Berlin.
+
+## Command Variations
+
+Techno music has high bpm's and a fast pitch change. The video has to be able to follow the fast changes accorddingly, so it is important to adjust the python code to it. The visuals have to support the atmosphere of the music, that's why the pictures have a fast flow and don't stay static.

+
+I made four videos. I experimented with parametars and the last one proved to be the best one.

+The tempo was very important as the rhythm is quite fast. I was also trying to get in the video more pictures of the people than animals, but in the end I gave up and just used random numbers. Somehow this way I got 2 pictures with people, compered with my previous tries which had none.

+
+This is Ali's entry for the competition.
+
+
+
+## Command Variations
+
+I tried different things, I changed the music audio to be a romantic guitar. I made one videos, I was inspired by the romantic guitar in the sub-continent.Traditionally musical traditions have been passed on orally and musical skills have often been taught from father to son or teacher to pupil. Students pay respect to their instructors by kissing their feet. The relationship between teachers (known as pandits and gurus among Hindus and ustaad among Muslims) and their pupils is very important in Indian music. Teachers and pupils are often related, and the spiritual element of the instrument is often as important as technical virtuosity. In northern India, the spiritual relationship is symbolized by a ceremony in which a teachers ties a string around the wrist of a pupil
