Github repo for main website source?
-
Is the website source hosted in a Github repo someplace (like the source of the documentation site https://docs.ubports.com)? I was looking through the issues at https://github.com/ubports/docs.ubports.com/issues, and I see somebody opened an issue for a problem with the form at https://ubports.com/join-us. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that's the right place for that issue.
Happily running Ubuntu Touch on:
Google Pixel 3a XL (20.04 Stable) -
@RayCulp I think it is there https://github.com/ubports/ubports.com

@lduboeuf Thanks for that info.
@all Just wondering, the README.md says I should check https://wiki.ubports.com/wiki/Writing-a-Good-Bug-Report for hints on how to write a good bug report, but that site is currently down. Does anyone know if this is temporary?

@RayCulp Short answer, there is not a repo for the main website, but there is acknowledgement it needs to be easier for community contribitions. The Github Issues page is the best place to log issues with the website, though it seems to be checked infrequently.
My suspicion is that wiki.ubports is dead, and is replaced by docs.ubports.com, though there is still the occasional dead link.
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/contribute/bugreporting.html is not quite a perfect replacement, but contains some guidelines about halfway down the page.

Then I could go ahead and edit the readme.md file and have it point to https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/contribute/bugreporting.html. Who would I need to talk to for access/permission.

The Wiki is gone and not coming back. The docs page is the future. The readme is in a GitHub repo, so you don't need special access. Fork the repo to your own account, make the necessary changes in your fork. And then propose the changes back as a PR (Github) or MR (Gitlab) to the main repo. Lastly, bug someone (probably one of the contributors, but preferably not Marius G. Although I'm not sure who else otherwise... ) to review and merge your PR / MR.

Very true, didn't think of that.

Yeah... I'm not so sure about that part.

Just one more question: The README.md also says "Please make sure that you're in the right place".
That page, which was also part of the wiki, was a list of bug trackers for different purposes. Here is a snapshot of the page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170622144801/https://wiki.ubports.com/wiki/UBports-Bug-Trackers
I didn't find anything similar in the current documentation, but I think such a list is quite useful. If it does not yet exist, then since the logical place to (re)create it would be the documentation site, and since it would take a while to create it and get it merged, I would suggest creating a short, temporary list directly in the README.md file. If you have time, please have a look at my proposed changes here: https://github.com/RayCulp/ubports.com/tree/master
If it seems like I'm a little unsure of myself, that's because I am.
Up till now I've only ever used Github to host my own private repos. I've never actually created a single pull request. -

That is the beauty of PR's. You propose them, and a discussion develops around them. Suggestions for improvements can be implemented in your fork, and the PR will automatically be updated to reflect the changes.
