The best way to update content on the BASES website is with the fork-and-pull model. Contributing is the best way to ensure that your team's content gets onto the site as fast as possible, i.e. you can contribute without involving tech team until the very last step.

To contribute, make all the desired content changes on your local fork and then submit a pull request. Note that all commands beginning with $: indicate they should be executed on your terminal.

1. Fork the repository
2. Clone the repository to your local machine
3. Configure your development environment to work on the site:
   • Install Node.js - the JavaScript platform everyone's been talking about! Note that Node comes with "Node Package Manager" which you will often see abbreviated as npm. This is a utility used to manage libraries.
4. Enter the bases website directory: $: cd bases_website
5. Install dependencies: $: npm install
6. Run the web application to develop: $: PORT=8000 node app
7. Check that your local copy of the site is running by going to: localhost:8000 on your web browser

All pages are found under the views directory. Note that this project uses Jade as a templating language which is eventually converted to the HTML served by the website. Using Jade should be relatively straightforward if you just want to add content (i.e. just copy what already exists). After making any changes, refresh the page on localhost (You may have to clear the cache by using Cmd + Shift + R when you refresh) and make sure that the website looks ok.
