## Introduction
This README here to walk you through everything you need to know to make changes, edits, or even completely new pages for the new [getmonero.org website](https://getmonero.org/). It'll definitely be a bit of a ride, so strap yourself in.
Feel free to skip down to a relevant section if you already know what you need.
Feel free to skip down to a relevant section if you already know what you need. So to go to the 'How to make a User Guide' section use your find function and type '5.0'.
If you need support about something related to the website, plese join `#monero-site` on Freenode (also relayed on Matrix and mattermost). For general info about Monero join `#monero`. We'll do whatever we can to help you.
If for any reason you have questions or need to contact us, you can find us on the IRC channel #monero. We'll do whatever we can to help you.
## 2.0 What you'll need
## What you'll need
* Jekyll: [getmonero.org](https://getmonero.org/) is made using a simple, static website generator called [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/). You will need it installed on your system to test any changes that you made. If you're using Windows, you will want to check out [this site](http://jekyll-windows.juthilo.com/) for instructions on how to get Jekyll working on your system. If you're using a Linux-based system you can just follow the instructions on the website to get up and going:
* Install Ruby
* Install Bundler: `gem install bundler`
* Install Jekyll with all dependencies (run from the project directory): `bundle`
* GitHub/GitLab: Pretty much everything in Monero is hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com), [getmonero GitLab](https://repo.getmonero.org/users/monero-project/projects) or [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/users/kovri-project/projects) and uses Git as the primary version control system. If you're not familiar with how to use Git, you can check out [this tutorial](https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/) for a good overview. It will take you through pretty much everything you'll need to know to edit the website. If you haven't already, register for GitHub and fork the [Monero Website repository](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site).

* Markdown experience: To write pages, you're going to need to know how to use Markdown. It's basically an in-between language that enables people who don't know HTML to just write, and it will be compiled into HTML for you. You can find a great Markdown cheat sheet with examples [here](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet). IF you need more help, Google and YouTube are great resources.

## 3.0 General change recommendations
The average Monero user that will want to contribute to the website should probably stick with making blog posts, user guides, Moneropedia entries, or a Forum Funding System proposal, all of which are covered in this document. If this is all you want to do, don't worry, it's actually not a daunting task at all. If you are not well versed in web development however, it is not recommended you try to do anything beyond that.
## General change recommendations
The average Monero user that will want to contribute to the website should probably start looking for issues labelled [⛑️ help needed](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/issues?label_name%5B%5D=%E2%9B%91%EF%B8%8F++help+needed) or making blog posts, user guides or Moneropedia entries; all of which are covered in this document. If this is all you want to do, don't worry, it's actually not a daunting task at all. If you are not well versed in web development however, it is not recommended you try to do anything beyond that.
If you are a web developer and would like to make large macro-level changes, it would be best to get in contact with rehrar. The HTML/CSS framework is custom, though quite easy to use for a seasoned developer. Still, there are some pages that are more complicated than others and would require fair amounts of styling changes should the structure change significantly.

- If you want to add a new page to the navigation, you should go to ALL LANGUAGES in the `_data/lang` folder including `template` and add the page.
- It is strongly strongly STRONGLY encouraged that if you make a change, you - at the minimum - test it on your local machine before submitting a PR. Sometimes unexpected things may happen due to a change. If you change a page, check the whole page on multiple screen sizes and browsers to make sure there wasn't any collateral damage.
### 3.1 Housekeeping
## Housekeeping
#### Editing the Site
### Editing the Site
When you make an edit to ANY page on the English language of this website, PLEASE copy your changes into the corresponding `/_i18n/template/` file as well.
The Monero Translation workgroup will do their best to keep tabs on all changes of the site, but it'd be nice to notify them that you've changed a page so they can make sure the equivalent pages are changed accordingly in the other languages.
The Monero Localization workgroup will do their best to keep tabs on all changes of the site, but it'd be nice to notify them that you've changed a page so they can make sure the equivalent pages are changed accordingly in the other languages.
#### GitLab Issues
We ask that if you open an issue on the site that you remain available for clarifying questions or corrections. We do our best to close issues that are resolved when we make changes to the site, but If your issue is resolved by a contributor and the issue is not closed we ask that you close it in a timely manner. A contributor (rehrar, SamsungGalaxyPlayer, or other community members, etc) may ask you to close an issue after it's confirmed fixed. Please review the changes to the site and close your issue if you can verify that it's fixed.

A contributor may ask you to close an issue after it's confirmed fixed. Please review the changes to the site and close your issue if you can verify that it's fixed.
#### Pull Requests
### Pull Requests
Contributors should use [issue keywords](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/automatic_issue_closing.html) to make it easier for maintainers to close issues when they merge. Include close, closes, closed, fix, fixes, fixed, resolve, resolves, resolved, etc in the commit message or pull request description, so that the correct issue can be closed if your PR is merged. (Example: 'fixes #1234' could close Issue 1234 when merged.)
Pull requests allow others to make comments or review your changes to the site. We ask that you remain available to comment or make changes to your PR. Pull requests with pending changes for more than 30 days will be closed and need to be resubmitted in the future. Sometimes someone else's changes might make your changes conflict with the current site. If that happens you may need to rebase your PR. (If you're unsure about how to do so, you can reach out to other contributors on IRC (freenode #monero) and someone should be able to walk you through it.
### 3.2 Updates on User Guides
Pull requests allow others to make comments or review your changes to the site. We ask that you remain available to comment or make changes to your PR. Pull requests with pending changes for more than 30 days will be closed and need to be resubmitted in the future.

## Updates on User Guides
User guides and developer guides may need regular updates, either to fix typos, to add explanations regarding new features, to update screenshots, and so on.
As those guides are translated in several languages, it could be hard to keep all languages version up to date with the English version.
To keep track of those changes, guides are versioned using a snippet at the top of each localized (\_i18n/en/resources/\*-guides) file:

- Changes that add instructions or explanations (or screenshot updates with different field names and positions), without making the old version misleading for users: Increment the second number (Minor version number) and reset the third to 0. We want to let the user know the English version could be more accurate and helpful to read.
- Changes that makes the old version false, or misleading to users: Increment the first number (Major version number) and reset the second and third to 1.0. We want to discourage users from reading this too outdated version that could lead them to do wrong things (for instance, buy the wrong algo of mining power on nicehash, after a pow change).

## 7.0 How to make a FFS Proposal
Before starting this section, it is recommended that you read the User Guide for [How the Forum Funding System works](#) as well as the [Forum Funding System Terms and Guidelines](#). If you do not read these expect your FFS proposal to be laughed at, not to mention not funded.
### 7.1 Quick Start
* Read [How the Forum Funding System works](#) and the [Forum Funding System Terms and Guidelines](#).
* Make the .md file in the /forum-funding-system/proposals folder. Remember the name.
* Choose your front matter layout based on whether your proposal is an Idea (`ffs-ideas`) or Open Task (`ffs-ot`) as specified in the above reading
* Fill out the rest of the Front Matter below, leaving the `address` and `paymentid` sections empty
* Edit the ffs.yml file. I strongly recommend you read this section.
* Write the proposal
* Test/Build
* Submit PR
### 7.2 Make the proposal
Navigate to the /forum-funding-system/proposals folder and make a new file. Be sure the file name has no spaces and the ending is .md. It is very important that you remember the EXACT name of this file.
### 7.3 Front Matter
```
---
layout: ffs-ideas OR ffs-ot
title: NAME OF YOUR PROPOSAL
summary: A BRIEF SUMMARY OF YOUR PROPOSAL
author: YOUR NAME OR HANDLE
address:
paymentid:
---
```
The layout will depend on if you are simply presenting an idea that you do not plan to do yourself or if you are presenting an idea that you are capable and willing to do, the chosen layout will be `ffs-ideas` or `ffs-ot` respectively. You can get more information in the [How the Forum Funding System works](#) User Guide. Fill out the next three sections as normal (title, summary, author), but leave the last two (address, paymentid) blank. Again, DO NOT PUT ANYTHING HERE.
### 7.4 Editing the .yml file
Navigate to the /\_data folder and open the file titled `ffs.yml`. In this file you will find a long list of FFS proposals.
**DO NOT MESS WITH THE FORMATTING OR INDENTATION OF ANYTHING OR JEKYLL WILL NOT BUILD PROPERLY!**
Identify the section you will be placing your proposal in. If you used `ffs-ideas` in the layout variable in the front matter then you will be putting your proposal in `stage: ideas`, and if you used `ffs-ot` in the layout, then you will be putting your proposal in the `stage: Open Tasks`. Copy the following code:
```
- name:
url: /forum-funding-system/proposals/
summary:
author:
```
and paste it as the very top underneath the `proposals:`.
**Make sure the indentation is EXACTLY the same as the other proposals in the area. If it's not the jekyll build WILL fail. If in doubt, put the line with the hyphen (-name) all the way to the left and press space four time, and then put the remainder of the variables all the way to the left and press space six times.**
Fill in the information.
* `name:` should be the same as the title chosen in 7.3
* for `url:` you should append the EXACT name of the file as chosen in 7.2 to the current string but with `.html` at the end instead of `.md`. So it should look like `/forum-funding-system/proposals/YOUR-FILE-NAME.html`
* `summary:` should be the same summary copy and pasted from the front matter in 7.3
* `author:` should be your name or handle, again the same as the front matter in 7.3
Sorry for the repetition here, but it's how Jekyll is working to put things correctly.
### 7.5 Write the proposal
Go ahead and write your proposal now. Go back to your .md file in `/forum-funding-system/proposals`. Be sure to follow the [Forum Funding System Terms and Guidelines](#). Let me be the first to thank you for wanting to contribute your time and energy to better Monero.
### 7.6 Build/Test
Build your website using `jekyll serve` if it's not rebuilding automatically. If the build fails and you receive an error, you may have messed up somewhere in the `ffs.yml` file back in 7.4. Go back to that section and check the indentation. Yes, it's stupid. Yes, it has to be perfect.
If the build is successful, go to the Forum Funding System section of the website and make sure that your proposal is showing up in the correct areas, and that when the linked is clicked it takes you to the correct page with your proposal. Use this time to read everything for accuracy and make any changes. If not, you will have to do multiple PRs to make edits and updates. It is this way by design so we can keep track of edits made by authors.

## 14.0 How to translate a page
## Translations
In this section you'll find the info you need to translate a page and add a new translation, but keep in mind that Monero has a [Localization Workgroup](https://taiga.getmonero.org/project/erciccione-monero-localization/) who coordinate and give support to translators-volunteers. You can find an updated guide and an example of the workflow we use on our [Guide on Taiga](https://taiga.getmonero.org/project/erciccione-monero-localization/wiki/translating-monero-website) (frequently updated), also, for live support/request of infos, come chat on `#monero-translations` (Freenode/IRC, riot/matrix, MatterMost).
### 14.1 Quickstart
## How to translate a page
### 1. Quickstart
* Navigate to the correct language in the /i18n folder and find the page you wish to translate
* Click the file and translate the page, not touching any HTML or markdown.
* Remove `{% include untranslated.html %}` from the page
* Test/Build
* Submit PR
### 14.2 Naviate to correct file
### 2. Naviate to correct file
Go to the /i18n folder and find the two letter code for the language you wish to translate for. Enter that folder and find the file you wish to translate. The filenames are all in English and MUST NOT BE CHANGED.
### 14.3 Translate the file
### 3. Translate the file
Here you can do your translation. Depending on the page, you may have to maneuver around some HTML or markdown. In general, anything between two tags (such as `<p>TRANSLATE THIS</p>`) should be fine. Testing is VERY important, so do NOT skip step 13.4. If during testing, the page appears different from the original English page (besides the translated text of course), you did something wrong and may have to start again.

Somewhere on the page (usually the top) should be a snippet that says `{% include disclaimer.html translated="false" version=page.version %}`. Simply change this to `{% include disclaimer.html translated="true" version=page.version %}`. This will remove the orange bar from the bottom saying the page is untranslated.

Whoo boy, this is the big one. Please follow all directions exactly.
### 15.1 \_config.yml file
### 1. \_config.yml file
Navigate to the root folder of the whole website and find the file labeled `_config.yml`. Open it and find the line that says `languages:`. Add your two letter language code (Google it if you don't know it) in between the brackets after the others already present. You will need to put a comma after the previous last one.

### 15.2 \_data folder
### 2. \_data folder
Navigate to the `_data/lang` folder and copy the `template` folder. Paste it into the same folder and the copy renamed to the two letter language code of the language you will be translated to.
**The template folder itself should still be there. It should not be renamed. There should be a new folder in addition to the ones that were already there.**
Translate the content of the files. Do not touch anything labeled `url`, and in the roadmap.yml ONLY translate the `name:` content.
### 15.3 \_i18n folder
### 3. \_i18n folder
Navigate to the \_i18n folder and duplicate the en.yml file. Rename the duplicate to the two letter language code of your language with a `.yml` at the end and change all sections marked 'translated: "yes"' to 'translated: "no"'. Change back to 'yes' once you have translated that section. Now duplicate the `en` folder and rename it with the correct language code.
**The original folder and yml file themselves should still be there. They should not be renamed. There should be a new folder and yml file in addition to the ones that were already there.**
Enter the .yml file and translate everything there.
