Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Archipelago website!
Much of the content on the website is generated automatically, but there are some things that need a personal touch. For those things, we rely on contributions from both the core team and the community. The current primary maintainer of the website is Farrak Kilhn. He may be found on Discord as Farrak Kilhn#0418, or on GitHub as LegendaryLinux.

Small Changes

Pull requests for small changes to the website are almost always accepted. These include things like spelling and grammar corrections, bugfixes, etc.

Content Additions

Once you develop a new feature or add new content the website, make a pull request. It will be reviewed by the community and there will probably be some discussion around it. Depending on the size of the feature, and if new styles are required, there may be an additional step before the PR is accepted wherein Farrak works with the designer to implement styles.

Style Changes

While content and feature changes to the website are commonly accepted, style changes are not. A professional designer has designed the assets, colors, themes, etc. for the website. In an effort to maintain a consistent look and feel, style changes are largely not accepted. Please note this applies to code which changes the look and feel of the site, not to small tweaks to CSS for your custom page.

Site Themes

There are several themes available for game pages. It is possible to request a new theme in the #art-and-design channel on Discord. Because themes are created by the designer, they are not free, and take some time to create. Farrak works closely with the designer to implement these themes, and pays for the assets out of pocket. Therefore, only a couple themes per year are added. If a proposed theme seems like a cool idea and the community likes it, there is a good chance it will become a reality.
