content.json (in the gh-pages branch) is where all the resources are defined. In each resource there is a name of the technology, a short description, what the user should learn next, and an ordered list of resources related to that technology. There are a few things to keep in mind when doing editing:

1. Not really a rule, but if you are contributing your own link, tutorial, or lesson, please do the right thing and become a sponsor back at the site ($25 is typical for each link added) - it's honor system right now, but if there's suspected abuse, it will be made public and your links will be removed
2. Links should be free (no pay walls) and take the user directly to the relevant information (i.e. for html go to the html exercise in codecademy, rather than codeacademy's home page - the user should not have to do any searching to start learning)
3. All names must be lowercase (even in the $then fields and descriptions)
4. Descriptions should be no more than 100 characters long
5. Descriptions should not use any complex jargon when possible
6. Home should be the top domain when possible (official documentation or the wikipedia article if a concept)
7. Next lessons ($then) are meant to signify what the next lesson should be (1) immediate and (2) obvious (3) next or related steps from the current box
8. Next lessons should not include prerequisites (javascript should not be in angular $then)
9. Each LINK (not the box) must be categorized as "easy" (level: 0, no previous experience necessary), "medium" (level: 1, requires "easy" information), and "hard" (level: 2, requires "medium" information)
10. Only the first two "easy" links are shown, in the order of the array
11. Link names should be the title of the destination
12. Links should generally be about the topic as a whole, and not about a special subject within that topic (i.e. an introduction to CSS rather than different ways to float divs)
13. Make sure that if you are testing locally to open in Firefox - Chrome does not allow for local pulls of JSON files
