Hello Shawn, Marek and the community,

First of all, thanks for having accept my first patch into the
scap-security-guide master branch. I will try to provide other OVAL
checks and associated remediations for missing STIG rules in the next
day/weeks.

In order to answer your questions, as a total newbie into the SSG
community so I guess with a complete external point of view, I think the
Github wiki page is the good place to add the developer rules. When I
tried to write my first check, the documentation I read was the
developer guide. In my opinion, I think it would be nice to add things
into that documentation.

Considering my small experience, I would add for example the advices
provided by Marek like using the DS file in stead of the XCCDF. In a
more general way, what about adding a chapter telling the commands to
use for validating our new checks and remediations.

For me, there is already interesting stuff in the developper guide. For
me, it was a good starting point for doing my first contributions.

Maybe I am old school but compared to SO, I prefer the documentation on
the Github pages because it's a centralized place where we can find
interesting information. And added to that, the mailing list is also a
good channel for additional support because it's also centralized with
an easy way to search for data using the archives.

Here are my 2 cents.

Regards,
Olivier
