Contributing

Democratic Mediums is a participatory project that depends on community contributions. Please share your expertise by helping to make this resource more useful for others.

To contribute, you can fork the project on GitLab and submit a merge request once you have made your changes. The website is built with MkDocs, a simple but powerful static site generator for Markdown files.

All site content is located in the docs/ directory, which in turn is organized roughly as it appears on the site itself.

The easiest way to contribute is to use the website's integration with the GitLab online editor:

• Navigate to the page you want to edit on the Democratic Mediums website and click the edit button (a small pencil icon)
• Sign into GitLab with an existing account or create a new one
• GitLab will offer to create a "fork" for you, which is a copy of the site in your GitLab account—do so!
• Edit the page as you wish; to edit multiple pages, it may be easier to use GitLab's "Web IDE"
• Add a "commit message" summarizing your suggested change and click "Commit changes"
• Fill out any additional information you want in the merge request form and submit it
• Your merge will be approved, if appropriate, as soon as possible

Please let us know if you have any questions at medlab@colorado.edu. If you prefer not to use GitLab for contributions, you can also simply email suggestions there.
