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 (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 .

ℹ️

Our documentation often refers to syntax annotated in <> brackets. We use this expression for variables that are unique to each user (like path, local moniker, versions et cetera). 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 .

Steps to make a pull request:

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

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

Clone the repository


git clone https://github.com/nymtech/nym.git

Go to the directory nym


cd nym

Switch to branch develop and update the branch


git checkout develop
git pull origin develop

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

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