Guide: Anatomy of an HTTP Transaction about docs

[bnb]

Sounds good. I actually did a post very similar to this for Modulus a while ago; would there be interest in pulling that? I have no problems with it, and Modulus is a Foundation member. @mikeal is the only person I know that would have any idea, although I'm sure there are others.

Yeah happy to pull from that if it's cool with everyone. Less work that way :)

Just to be clear to everyone, we'd still need to give 100% credit to Modulus. Having some sort of system in place where foundation members can sponsor or share guides (or whatever we're calling them) that are officially credited to them, and which we publicize the publication of. The @nodejs/evangelism WG might have some ideas on this.

@bnb I am not sure how I feel about that — it kind of sets an odd precedent for the project. For instance, hypothetically, npm, (or Walmart, or Yahoo) might see that certain parts of the docs have advertising for the company that donated them on the page, and might (reasonably) insist that all pages that their developers donate their efforts towards carry their logo as well. I lean towards accepting no-strings-attached donations of documentation or producing original content. In the meantime while we work on original documentation we can certainly link to external docs, though!

@bengl if you'd like to take a stab at writing an article like this that would be absolutely rad. It seems pretty well targeted: newbies who have just gotten done with the first tutorial and are interested in learning more. 👍 go for it!
