   Format: MarkdownItexAn article [[writing in the nLab]] was recently created, to give some guidelines which may help relative newcomers fit in with some of the unspoken norms that have developed at the nLab.

   Format: MarkdownItexI made a few small changes. The most important was rewording a bullet point from * The nLab is not a place where you can just plop down notes to * The nLab is not a place where you just plop down notes indiscriminately. It was pointed out by Urs that if newcomers have good-quality notes that are relevant to nLab interests, then we don't want to turn them away. Hopefully the text below that bullet point gives adequate explanation of what was meant.
