How do you guys list short term contracts on your resume?

Just sorta curious. I have been doing quite a few recently and didn't really know how I should be listing them on my resume.

I might have something coming up (I'll post about it if I get it and actually pull it off) that'll be quite a step up from the stuff I've been doing at my current employer. I will definitely list it if it comes to fruition.

I think you should list anything that's significant, but don't litter your resume with contracts where you just performed basic tasks. Alternatively, you could try and find a way to group them together and describe the highlights from all of them collectively i.e.

I do a combination of the two. Longer term contracts I list out, the rest I sum up under a single job.
