Your change can be a fix to the existing material, a new exercise, or a diagram of some kind (preferably in a vector format like SVG, but we'll take anything). We are *not* presently accepting material with new concepts: the lessons are full to bursting as it is, and our rule is that new stuff can only be added if we can identify something to take out. (Note: refactorings that rearrange the order of material are also welcome.)
b) If you're submitting by PR, please include discussion in the comments on the PR (*not* in the submitted content) about the purpose of the exercise.

I'd rather have some of that motivational discussion in the commit messages (which are easier to find via git blame … than the PR that landed the commit and then the appropriate comment in the PR discussion).

Could you please add a sentence about reading the CONTRIBUTING file that is in the repository where they do their PR?

If there aren't upcoming slots on the Etherpad that work for you, please add yourself to the top and we'll set something up. You must do this step separately for each Carpentry, and you're expected to read through the lesson(s) carefully *before* your session and show up with questions. If the session moderator (an experienced instructor) feels you haven't done this, you'll be invited to come back to a future session.

3. Once you're through the discussion session(s), sign up for a 5-minute online demonstration lesson slot on http://pad.software-carpentry.org/teaching-demos (or add yourself to the top of the pad if none of the available slots works for you). In that, we will ask you to teach a short segment from your chosen lesson - we'll pick the starting point on the day, so you will need to be familiar with the whole lesson. If you want to do your final demonstration(s) in a language other than English, please let us know in advance so that we can find someone to sit in.

so you will need to be familiar with the whole lesson

Another possible suggestion for end-of-workshop training contributions: translation of existing material into another language.

Objections:

  • may not test what we want to test in new instructor trainees
  • may not be necessary (I'm out of the loop on translation efforts in SWC/DC)

Pros:

  • expands our material, familiarizes them with it more
  • close reading for translation often suggests sensible changes in the source material
