Hi everyone We've started work on a new site for MooTools, and wondered if any of you wanted to help out. The is a lot of work to be done, requiring a variety of skills:
- Design - HTML & CSS - Wordpress customisation - 'Classic' PHP (for the bulk of the site and the documentation / demo runner) - Symfony (for the Forge) - Content contributions - tutorials, demos, documentation We've already sketched out some initial design ideas <http://d.pr/uxWg> and the first stage is to flesh out the 'style guide<https://github.com/fakedarren/mootools-website/blob/master/DESIGN%20ASSETS/Fireworks%20CS3/basic%20style%20guide.png>' - covering basics, like heading styles, paragraph and link styles, code snippet styles - so that when we move on to specific sections, anyone that wants to help with design knows where to start. So how do you get involved? Well, we have a Github repository<https://github.com/fakedarren/mootools-website>and all you need to help out is going to be put there. 'Watch' the repository to get notified of any issues, and you can comment with any questions or ideas. Don't know git? That is fine, if you want to contribute designs only, you can submit design ideas by email (fakedarren at mootools dot net) but you'll need to create a (free!) account to take part in any discussions. If you want to contribute code, you will need to use git. So - what is it we want you to do? Well, we have a list of milestones / steps<https://github.com/fakedarren/mootools-website/issues/milestones>, and within each step, a list of tasks<https://github.com/fakedarren/mootools-website/issues?milestone=1>. Each milestone should take approximately two weeks to complete. We'll log tasks accordingly. If it's not assigned to anyone, it is still outstanding, and any contributions are more than welcome. For now, we're still waiting on real basics - a basic style guide, a colour palette, the main navigation - if you want to get involved, please do. A massive part of the new website is to beef up our 'learning' section - so if you want to help with content, take a look at the Tutorials section, and see if there is anything you can help with. If there is anything you feel the new website should have, please create a new issue, and it will be discussed. Cheers Darren
