Wednesday, July 29, 2020 [image: The new GRASS GIS website] The new GRASS GIS website is out!
In occasion of its *37th birthday the GRASS GIS project* is proud to present its *new website* <https://grass.osgeo.org>! The site has been redesigned with modern tools to be responsive and also easier to maintain. Content is more discoverable now and easy to browse too. What’s cool - The *Learn* <https://grass.osgeo.org/learn> page offers a curated list of tutorials in different languages and links to videos. The new Try online <https://grass.osgeo.org/learn/tryonline> section provides links to Binder and rollApp online applications that allow testing GRASS GIS without installing it. - Our long standing and *rich history* <https://grass.osgeo.org/about/history> in the GIS and open source world is now presented in a much more attractive layout. Have a look at the timeline of *releases* <https://grass.osgeo.org/about/history/releases> and *websites* <https://grass.osgeo.org/about/history/web-evolution>! - The revamped *gallery of screenshots* <https://grass.osgeo.org/learn/gallery> shows some of GRASS GIS capabilities through visual examples. - Project resources easily reachable: mailing lists, wiki, RSS news feed, the various GitHub and docker repositories. The technology We chose a static format based on HUGO <https://gohugo.io/> and all the code and content is hosted in a dedicated repo <https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website> in GitHub. *Nicolas Bozon* <http://cartogenic.com/> designed the website theme and many others helped with content curation and creation. In detail, the page content is now written in markdown. Several times a day the website is automatically deployed from the GitHub repository to our internet server at https://grass.osgeo.org/ . What’s next With this new web technology and the availability of the code and content in a public repository, we want to *encourage and simplify community members’ participation*. If you want your GRASS GIS use cases, blog posts and cool screenshots to be part of if, you only need to create a pull request. No fear, we have a manual for contributions <https://grass.osgeo.org/about/theme/>. We thank all the contributors for their input and help to see this project finally realized! Special thanks to OSGeo <https://www.osgeo.org/> as well as individuals <https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Sponsors> for their financial support. Stay tuned, there’s more yet to come!
