About monero-project/monero-site
# Monero Project Website
The Monero Site repository contains the source code for getmonero.org, the official website of the Monero cryptocurrency project. It is built using Jekyll, a static site generator that produces a fast, secure website from markdown and HTML files. The repository includes the complete structure for the website including blog posts, user guides, documentation, and localized versions in multiple languages.
The site serves as the primary information hub for Monero, hosting downloads of open-source wallets, merchant and exchange listings, educational resources, and project updates. It features user guides with screenshots, developer documentation, a Moneropedia glossary of cryptocurrency terms, an FAQ section, a project roadmap, and a library of publications related to Monero. The website is also available as a Tor hidden service for privacy-conscious users who want to access it without revealing their IP address.
Contributors can modify and extend the website by editing markdown and HTML files, creating new blog posts, translating content into different languages, and updating guides and documentation. The project uses a formal review process for pull requests and coordinates with a dedicated Localization Workgroup to manage translations across numerous languages. The site is fully open-source under the BSD 3-Clause license, allowing the community to propose and implement changes, though major modifications are recommended to be discussed with developers first.
