This site uses Jekyll. You can find instructions for how to install and configure Jekyll on https://jekyllrb.com/docs/.
You can contribute by:
- writing an article,
- improving the theme (developers),
- improving the design of the site by sharing mockups or ideas (UX and designers).
You can write a blog post in any language. There are no strict writing guidelines, but if you need ones, checkout Digital Ocean Technical writing guides.
As for what to write about, if you think it is worth sharing, then it is worth writing about (as long as it is about RustPython).
If you need inspiration:
- you can check out the issues marked with the label
content
, - you can write a how-to, a technical article about something you learned while contributing to RustPython, a use case or just notes-to-future-self for how to configure something.
The _posts
folder is where the blog posts are.
To create a new post create a markdown file with this pattern: YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.md
, for example: 2020-10-01-why-rust-python-is-awesome.markdown
Here is how the content of that file should look like.
---
layout: post
title: "Why RustPython is awesome!"
---
Content goes here.
Once you have your post ready, submit a pull request.
To edit the homepage, you can modifty these files:
index.markdown
_config.yml
config.yml
has settings like section titles and hyperlinks.
index.markdown
has the text.
contributors.json
is automatically generated and has a list of the top contributors.

theme.
The color scheme is that of the RustPython Logo:
