 # AdaptiveExperiments.github.io
 Code for Adaptive Experiments Website
+## EASI
+
+
+This is the repository containing the webpages for the EASI project.
+
+### Contributing
+
+The EASI website encourages community contributions consistent with our goals and code of conduct.
+
+To suggest a change, fork the repository and make your proposed changes.
+Then test locally (see below) to ensure your changes are behaving as anticipated.
+If it's a very minor change (a typo, one line addition) a local preview may not be necessary, but for all other modifications, it's strongly encouraged to test locally before submitting a pull request.
+After previewing and confirming things look good create a pull request against `gh-pages`.
+
+### Adding a Training Links
+
+Links to exiting training material can be added with an entry to _data/training.yml.
+Each entry must have at a minimum
+```yml
+  name: The title of the talk/tutorial
+  url: url with direct link to the material
+```
+Where possible each entry should also include:
+```yml
+author: Name of the author(s) of the material
+location: Event where training was given
+location_url: url of event where training was given
+date: Date or training event {CI, Collaboration, Git, Licensing, Packaging, Performance, Reproducibility}
+description: A 2-3 sentence description of the material
+tags: A list of categorical tags for training topics. Comma separated list contained in {}
+      e.g {CI, Collaboration, Git, Licensing, Packaging, Performance, Reproducibility}
+      These are currently used to sort the entries on the /training-links page.
+      The tags are case sensitive. 
+```
+#### Adding authorship
+
+Posts should include the `author:` field using the name defined by an entry in the '_data/authors.yml'
+
+#### Build and Preview locally
+
+To build and preview the site locally, you'll need to [install jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/)
+It's then typical to go to the root directory of the site and issue (just once):
+
+```bash
+$ bundle install
+```
+
+And then (also in the top level directory of your forked repository) run
+
+```bash
+$ jekyll serve --config _config.yml,_config_dev.yml
+# or
+$ bundle exec jekyll serve --config _config.yml,_config_dev.yml
+```
+
+and open your browser to <http://localhost:4000>.
+Note the
+`--config _config.yml,_config_dev.yml` enables easy local previewing by using the `_config_dev.yml` file to replace certain values in `_config.yml`, avoiding the need to make local changes.
+
+#### Troubleshooting local previews
+If you are having trouble with your local preview try `rm -rf _site`, followed by `bundle update`, then `bundle exec jekyll serve`.
