Adding a new handbook page

To contribute a new handbook page:

1. Determine where the new page should live in the handbook. That is, nested under either: a. the "Company" handbook, or b. the handbook for a particular division (Engineering, Product Design, Customer Support, Sales, Marketing, Finance, IT & Enablement)
2. Locate the appropriate folder for the new page in the GitHub repository under handbook/.
3. Create a new markdown file (like one of these). A simple, easy way to do this is by clicking "Add file" on GitHub.com. a. Name your new file the kebab-cased, all lowercase version of your page title, with .md at the end. (For example, a page titled "Why this way?" would have the file path: handbook/company/why-this-way.md.) b. At the top of your new page, include an H1 (# Page title here) with the same name as your page. c. At the bottom of your new page, include the appropriate meta tag to indicate the page maintainer. (This is usually the same person who is the maintainer of the top-level page. The easiest way to do this is to copy the tags from the bottom of the top-level page and paste them in to your new page, changing their values to suit, as-needed.)
4. Submit your change, requesting review from the maintainer of the top-level page.

Note: GitHub should automatically request review from the right person when submitting your merge request, thanks to CODEOWNERS. Configuration for the auto-approval bot should also be taken care of automatically, so there's no further action needed from you.)
