Hi All,

I appreciate Dave Morriss has been working with everyone to get good shownotes so please keep doing this.

It is important to provide good show notes for reasons described on the /Picking a slot for your show/ <https://hackerpublicradio.org/about.html#requesting_slot> page:

 * They provide the listeners with more information on the topic your
   show is covering
 * They ensure your show gets posted on time (the volunteers don't have
   to make notes for you)
 * They encourage people to download your show
 * They allow your show to be indexed by search engines
 * They make your show accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing

The shownotes should be at a minimum give the person listening an idea of what your show is about.

If you don't add it, someone else will do it. This is not ideal

 * We are volunteers and each time we do this it takes at least 30
   minutes ignoring the time to listen to your show in the first place.
 * We can only do this after your show is released as we are a
   community of peers, and the dmca, we are not allowed to "listen"
   (scrob/scan yes) to the show before we post them.
 * You know better than me what you talked about.

The only option now for shownotes formatting is in *html *using the *W*hat *Y*ou *S*ee *I* *W*hat *Y*ou *G*et editor.

I'm writing this as, so far every show has been posted with markdown/test layout/html, so we need to make is clearer that the editor is there. Pull requests welcome <https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_hub/src/branch/main/hub/upload.php>.

When you edit them have it look like you want it to be on the website.

If it looks like markdown - that's wrong.
[WYSIWYG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG) change it to WYSIWYG <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG>

If the links are not blue - that's wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG change it to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG

If you see html tags - that's wrong.
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG";>WYSIWYG</a></p> change it to WYSIWYG <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG>

I'll fix them now but there are so many I'm not going to communicate it directly to the host any more.
