About this Project

This is the Monero website. Instead of using MediaWiki or similar, we are using Jekyll and hosting the source on github. All site content is in the easy-to-use Markdown format (Kramdown, specifically), so contributors don't need to have any knowledge of HTML or anything else.

Pages, Formats, and Rules

If you would like to suggest changes you can do so by forking the repository, making changes directly on your fork, and then submitting them as pull requests. If you need help doing so feel free to ask for assistance in #monero-dev on Freenode.

Pages and formats should be based off existing pages to maintain a consistent look-and-feel. The following notes apply to various parts of the site:

• changes made to _layouts, _includes, and home.php will need to use {% t x.x %} translation tags to pull in the YAML tag from _strings_en.yml, as this is required for multi-language support later on
• with the exception of something like blog/index.html (that is required to be a .html file for Jekyll's pagination to work) all pages should be .md files
• since all static content (CSS/JS/images) is hosted in a separate, non-public repository, changes can be suggested via Github issues and we will cross-apply them to that repo, crediting you in the commit message
• SVG should be used in header icons and diagrams, and FontAwesome icons can be used in text
• Moneropedia entries require nothing more than creating the .md file in knowledge-base/moneropedia/, please use the 00-base-00 file as a boilerplate
• To create a CLI screen shot, prefix the text block with {:.cli-code}, and use span elements for the colours; see getting-started/running.md, getting-started/accepting.md, and the account.md Moneropedia entry

Deployment

Deploying this website requires Jekyll (2.5+) and the following ruby gems: builder, rubysl-rexml

Multiple language support will be added soon.
