# The Picket Operating Manual

{% hint style="warning" %}
Consider this a *pre-release*. There are still more sections and content to come.
{% endhint %}

The Operating Manual tries to capture as much about what we do and how we do things across all facets of the organisation, from sales to development. We hope, in time, this manual will become a reference for when you need some guidance or an answer on how to do something within the organisation.

## Contributing

The Picket Operating Manual, like Picket itself, is ever-evolving. It's purpose is to help people within and without the company understand how we go about our work.

Any current employee is free to contribute to the manual. In fact, they are encouraged to contribute. There are a few conventions we must follow in order to contribute effectively.

1. An addition should have the primary intent to educate
2. Informing and entertaining are optional pursuits left up to the contributor.
