Stan Best Practices

In the theme of providing better introductions I put together a draft of the best practices we always advocate but have not yet been collected in a single source, https://github.com/stan-dev/stan/wiki/Stan-Best-Practices. We should probably add this to the manual at some point, but I thought I’d give people a chance to comment/critique/etc before that.

Thanks. I like it when we put things on the wikis.

Nice. Thanks. The only bit that’s in the manual
is to treat your program like software, which was the
very first chapter before Aki reorganized it to put
the reference manual first.

This is basically what we want to do in a case study,
but then people will look at it and say “that’s ecology
so it’s not for me” no matter what we write about.
