If you just want to know how to contribute code or text, check out the Hack This Site documentation. If you’re curious about the design process, we’ll cover that soon in another post. If you want to learn more about how the site works, read on.
This being Hacks/Hackers, an imperative for this site was the idea that anyone can “hack” it. In practice, this meant that we needed an architecture that lets anyone tinker with the site’s container (HTML templates, JavaScript, and CSS) as well as its content.
Welcome to your new hackshackers.com! The new site makes a lot of changes that community members have long been asking for, and is the result of months of collaborative work with Hacks/Hackers organizers and members from around the world. We’ve also got an updated logo that cleverly modernizes our visual identity.
The site now includes:
A resources page for organizers A directory of local groups A space for blog posts and community news A taxonomy system for finding local groups and topics An updated about page with our mission and history A style guide with the new design and logos !
