This page lists suggestions for ways to get started contributing to Bitcoin.org. If you have any questions, feel free to email volunteer coordinator Dave Harding dave@dtrt.org

All content created for Bitcoin.org should be made available under the MIT open source license or International public domain. You will receive credit for any contributions in the Git commit that adds them, as well as a possible mention on the About Us page.

For Writers And Editors

  • The upcoming full node page could use instructions for Mac OSX and Windows 8.

  • Some pages on Bitcoin.org were written by non-native English speakers. Fixing usage that "doesn't quite sound right" is a great way to start contributing to Bitcoin.org. If you're reading Bitcoin.org in another language, you can also help improve translations.

Graphic Artists

  • We're currently looking for ways to rebuild the How It Works page for a more mainstream audience, and we'd like some nice illustrations to be a part of that plan. Illustrating "blocks", "transactions", and other technical terms in an appealing and informative way is difficult, but if you're up to the challenge, email dave@dtrt.org and he'll start a new issue for illustration discussion.

  • Are there any icons or illustrations on the site you think you could improve? We'd love to see your ideas! You can open a new issue and use the upload image button (below the text box) to quickly show us your work, or you can open a pull request to put your image(s) in full context.

Web Designers

Bitcoin.org is built on Jekyll, a static site compiler, and hosted without any CGI. It also supports over 25 different languages (including RTL languages) using pre-compiled pages and custom Javascript.

  • Issue #723 proposes adding more flexibility to the developer documentation layout.

  • Issue #345 is a bug with the interactive map on the Events page. If you're familiar with OpenStreetMaps, we could use your help.
