Adding Content to Legal Forum

Our aim is to establish a strong community network, sharing legal findings and other suggestions with each other. We would like to encourage all of the current and future operators to do research about the situation in the jurisdiction they operate in, to share solutions to the challenges they encountered when running Exit Gateway, and create a pull request (PR).

First of all, please join our Node Operators Legal Forum (opens in a new tab) (Matrix chat) and post any information or questions there.

To add your information to this book, you can create a PR directly to our repository (opens in a new tab).

ℹ️

Our documentation often refer to syntax annotated in <> brackets. We use this expression for variables that are unique to each user (like path, local moniker, versions etcetra). Any syntax in <> brackets needs to be substituted with your correct name or version, without the <> brackets. If you are unsure, please check our table of essential parameters and variables (opens in a new tab).

Steps to make a pull request:

1. Write down your legal findings, suggestions, communication templates, FAQ in a text editor

2. Clone `nymtech/nym` repository or pull in case you already have it and switch to `develop` branch

Go to the directory nym

cd nym

Switch to branch develop and update the branch

git pull origin develop

3. Make your own branch based off `develop` and switch to it

Choose a descriptive and consise name without using <> brackets

git checkout -b operators/community-counsel/<NEW_BRANCH_NAME>
 
# example: git checkout -b operators/community-counsel/alice-vps-faq-template

Verify that you are on the right branch

git branch

4. Save your legal findings as `<JURISDICTION_NAME>.md` to `/nym/documentation/docs/pages/operators/community-counsel/jurisdictions` or add info to an existing page
