Instructions for Adopting a Guide:

• Check this guide against the template for guide creation to make sure that it has all the required sections.
• Check to see if it has any section that are not in the template and if there are some new section titles, and you think they are needed, propose them in this issue Guide Templates: Propose a new section guides#74
• Identify what else the guides needs and either:
  • resolve comments
  • add content
  • ask for peer review in the community of practice (TG: Review Guide)
