Welcome to the new OpenSpending Community site! This site is now
|
|
built using [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/) and hosted on
|
|
[GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/). What does this mean for
|
|
you?
|
|
|
|
> It means that going forward, it should be easier to tweak, update,
|
|
and contribute to the site to better fit the needs of the
|
|
OpenSpending community (e.g. you).
|
|
|
|
Until recently, this site was hosted using
|
|
[Wordpress](https://wordpress.org/). While Wordpress served its
|
|
purpose well, it lacked the degree of flexibility we desired in a
|
|
community-oriented site. Ultimately, we
|
|
[chose](https://discuss.okfn.org/t/openspending-community-website-migration-2015/330)
|
|
to migrate to GitHub Pages because it gives us the best mix of:
|
|
|
|
- Ease of deployment and maintenance
|
|
- Ease of editing (can do one-click editing and see changes appear)
|
|
- Auditable / moderatable
|
|
- Configurability and themability
|
|
|
|
In the process of migrating this site, we also reorganized some of its
|
|
content, so please let us know if something is broken or not where it
|
|
is supposed to be by creating an issue on the GitHub
|
|
[repository](https://github.com/openspending/dotorg/issues/) that hosts this
|
|
site.
|
|
|
|
Contributing is easy and, of course, highly encouraged! Guidelines
|
|
for contributing content to the site are available
|
|
[here](http://community.openspending.org/meta/contribute/).
