Inkscape Website
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Inkscape project welcomes contributions to its website at
|
|
|
<https://inkscape.org/>. Your help is valuable in different areas, and
|
|
|
this page provides info to guide you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We always need editors, translators, testers, designers and developers —
|
|
|
and if you think you can help in any of those areas, please contact us
|
|
|
by sending a mail to the translators' mailing list (for translations) or
|
|
|
the documentation mailing list (for website development and contents).

Editing
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have a [small team of people](https://inkscape.org/*editor) who look
|
|
|
after the web site contents, keep it up-to-date and constantly look for
|
|
|
ways to improve it, by collecting information from various sources and
|
|
|
presenting it on the web site. You can support us in various ways:
|
|
|
suggest improvements or corrections, write contents about topics that
|
|
|
are missing, write news articles and help with ‘marketing’, or join us
|
|
|
long-term and help with contents maintenance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### General Rules
|
|
|
|
|
|
- All content on the website is licensed **CC-BY-SA and GPLv2 or
|
|
|
later**. You will be required to agree to this license when you
|
|
|
first edit a page.
|
|
|
- Don't disrupt existing pages. If you don't know what you want to do
|
|
|
yet, then draft the page here on the wiki, Etherpad or in a separate
|
|
|
page first.
|
|
|
- No page is precious to any one person. All pages can be edited by
|
|
|
any editor and disputes about drafting changes should be brought to
|
|
|
the inkscape-docs mailing list or website editor in chief.
|
|
|
- The website's content is usually very flexible to updates, but final
|
|
|
decisions by the webmaster must be accepted by all editors.
|
|
|
- Page language in English or translated should keep to the
|
|
|
contributors rules. No swearing, no aggressive content and on
|
|
|
website pages there should be no opinion.
|
|
|
- Translations should be strictly a translation of the English
|
|
|
versions of pages. If there is new content, it should be added to
|
|
|
the English page first to keep all versions of the page in sync.
|
|
|
- When you have made a change to the English website that changes the
|
|
|
contents (i.e. not correcting grammar or a typo), and thus requires
|
|
|
translation, please kindly inform website translators via
|
|
|
translators' mailing list of the change you made. Try to finalize
|
|
|
your changes to a page, before you call out to them to do
|
|
|
their work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### User Account
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please [register](https://inkscape.org/user/register/) an account using
|
|
|
your email address and activate the account. Once active and logged in,
|
|
|
please email any of the website supervisors such as Martin Owens
|
|
|
(doctormo@gmail.com), the [inkscape-docs mailing
|
|
|
list](http://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-docs/) or the
|
|
|
[inkscape-translator mailing
|
|
|
list](http://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-translator/) to
|
|
|
get the necessary permissions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your account will then be enabled with the right permissions to add and
|
|
|
edit any of the pages on the website. Please take care not to disrupt
|
|
|
other content as you edit the website. As before, don't hesitate to ask
|
|
|
other website editors on their mailing list if you need help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If anything goes wrong while you are editing — for example, you
|
|
|
encounter a bug, or you accidentally delete something you did not intend
|
|
|
to delete, or something weird happens, and you don't know why —, please
|
|
|
ask for help on one of the mailing lists — either translators, or
|
|
|
inkscape-docs. You can also contact your team admin directly or file a
|
|
|
bug report for the website at the [bug tracker](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/issues).

Translations
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are fluent in a language different from English, please consider
|
|
|
joining our [website translators'
|
|
|
team](https://inkscape.org/*translator). We strive to make Inkscape
|
|
|
accessible for as many people as possible, and internationalization is
|
|
|
important to reach this goal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For being able to translate the CMS contents and the news, you will
|
|
|
first need to understand how [editing the website](#Editing "wikilink")
|
|
|
works.

Website Development
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Inkscape project has a side project — inkscape-web — which produces
|
|
|
the website seen by users and used by everyone to find resources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can support the website development with things as easy as reporting
|
|
|
bugs, or focused testing, or you can volunteer to test the web site more
|
|
|
systematically before a new release. Other important areas where you can
|
|
|
help us are website design, and website development. If you would like
|
|
|
to help, contact Martin Owens (doctormo@gmail.com).
|
|
|

The guide below is for helping with the website development and to get a
|
|
|
running version of the website for design work. The code is available on
|
|
|
GitLab in a [git repository](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/).
