Contributing

There are many ways you can contribute to this project:

  • Regularly add Sabbath School lesson content
  • Provide source (PDF, HTML or any other) of the Sabbath School content
  • Create Bible verse parsers for languages that do not have
  • Find and correct mistakes in existing lessons

Folder structure and formats

Please note that best way to create folder structure is to use create.js script approach. Below is the explanation of existing folders & files.

Each quarterly has few parameters that are reflected in the way files and folders are organizes:

  • Language
  • Quarter
  • Type (Could be Adult, Easy Reading, Youth & etc)
  • Quarterly Info file
  • Quarterly cover image

Folder structure for quarterly looks like that

src/[language code in ISO 639-1]/[quarter_number] - which will point to the root folder of the quarterly

quarter_number - has following format YYYY-QQ or YYYY-QQ-TYPE, where

  • YYYY is four digit number of year
  • QQ is the numerical value of quarter must be one of [01, 02, 03, 04]
  • TYPE is the short representation of quarterly type. Omitted if adult version of the lesson

Quarterly info file must be named info.yml and placed in the root folder of the quarterly. As you may understand it is written in YAML format. See for example src/en/2016-04/info.yml for more.

Quarterly cover file must be named cover.png and placed in the root folder of the quarterly. It's a PNG image that represents the cover of the quarterly.

Quarterly content (weekly and daily lessons) have it's own specific format and structure based on the following parameters:

  • Week number
  • Day of week file
  • Type of reading
  • Week info file
  • Week cover image

So quarterly structure looks like that:

[quarterly_root_folder]/[week_number]/[read_file]

So main content of Sabbath School lesson is the read_file. This is the markdown type file with the annotation (comment) section on top. For simplicity follow the numerical approach for days of the week readings (Sun through Sat) naming according to the numerical sequential value of the day of week. Additional readings like inside stories, teacher comments & etc can be named according to the type. For example create.js will name them inside-story.md and teacher-comments.md.
