Contributing to these pages

If you find a mistake or wish to make an improvement to these pages, you can do so. For a small mistake, just let us know by contacting us. For other changes you can also access and edit the pages themself.

As well as the SEEK source code, these pages are also stored in GitHub at https://github.com/seek4science/seek and served by GitHub pages.

They are under the branch gh-pages. Pages are in Markdown format, with a .md extension, but get converted into HTML for you. New pages require a formatter at the top, that looks like:

---
title: my lovely page
layout: page
---

For example, this page can be found at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seek4science/seek/gh-pages/contributing-to-pages.md

If you want to view your changes as you edit them, with Ruby installed you can install and run Jekyll with:

gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

and then goto localhost:4000/seek/. For more information please see Using Jekyll with Pages

You can make a change by forking and issuing a pull request. If contributing through GitHub is unfamiliar to you, please read Contributing to Open Source on GitHub
