It would be quite helpful to create some animated mini guides (something similar to https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/issues/554#issuecomment-357645259) to get more people into contributing to the project, especially those new to programming / Git.
Let's use this issue to track possible ideas.

I think taiga should be more visible on the site. Looking at the homepage now it looks like there is no reference to it at all. A link at the top, like the forum link, or perhaps under the "community" tab i think would be a good way to show that we are a true grassroots community and maye even get some people involvedhttps://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/-/issues/1048BitLaunch accepts Monero2022-07-25T07:01:17ZBitLaunchBitLaunch accepts MoneroWould it be possible to add https://www.bitlaunch.io/ to https://ww.getmonero.org/community/merchants/?

This issue was reported multiple times by many users on reddit. Unfortunately, one can’t just trust a random torrent which in turns means actual torrent or metalink files fails to provide more bandwith because of the lack of link sharing.
An official metalink file combining the bandwith of https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw and the bandwith of torrent would be welcome.https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/-/issues/976list ruby gem "monero" for libraries2019-10-03T11:07:52ZTim Kretschmerlist ruby gem "monero" for librariesneeds to be in there

What can we do to help simple retailers and others to implement Monero payments on their websites? Would it make sense to add a section of "how to get paid in Monero" on the official website and have super simple video guides for how to get it implemented on e.g. your wordpress site?
Maybe here: https://getmonero.org/get-started/accepting/
How can I/we non-techies help out? Is there someone pedagogic from the core team or a regular contributor to the project who is interested in doing something like this as an FFS? I for one would be interested in funding something like this as it would increase the overall demand for Monero.
Just by looking at the 24h volumes of the top 15 market cap coins it is apparent that Monero is well behind the others, which is worryingSource: https://imgur.com/a/XpahLW1https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/-/issues/780Create a new repository who will host all files in downloads.getmonero.org an...2019-06-30T11:23:28Zmonero-projectCreate a new repository who will host all files in downloads.getmonero.org and videos/other media files*Created by: erciccione*

The download page can be quite ambiguous for new users as it does not make reference to a wallet anywhere on the page in relation to the GUI and CLI applications.
I know the GUI and CLI are much more than wallets but majortiy of users who visit this site, well I would presume, are there to download a monero wallet.
An example of a minor improvement:
The links to download such as 'Windows, 64-bit' should say 'Windows, 64-bit Graphic User Interface.' As well as specify that this application can be used as a wallet somewhere.https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/-/issues/731Site testing process & automation2020-04-09T08:48:37Zmonero-projectSite testing process & automation*Created by: el00ruobuob*

This thread is to discuss site testing & automation of this testing.
I have, on behalf of @rehrar, started to test myself the PRs, let's see if we can do better.
Environment (ESXi-absed VMs):
- A dedicated Ubuntu Server 18.04 to run the build on.
- 4 clients:
- Ubuntu 18.04
- CentOS 7
- Windows 7
- Windows 10
On the server, i made a script to start testing a PR based on it's number:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z $1 ]
then
echo 'Pull Request not specified'
exit 1
elseif ! [[ $1 =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]
echo 'Pull Request should be a number'
exit 1
fi
dirPR=PR$1
dirExist=`find . -name $dirPR | wc -l`
echo "Getting Pull Request informations"
PRpage=`curl https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/$1`
PRtitle=`<<<$PRpage grep title | head -1 | sed s/"<title>"//g | sed s/"<\/title>"//g`
echo $PRtitle
if [ $dirExist == "1" ]
then
echo "Directory exist for Pull Request" $1
cd $dirPR
echo "Clearing local changes and fetching again"
git fetch origin master
git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
git clean -df
git pull -f --no-edit
echo "Fetch succeeded"
else
echo "No directory, getting Pull Request"
PRsource=`<<<$PRpage grep "class=\"commit-ref" | grep title | tail -1 | sed s/\"/" "/g | awk '{print $3}'`
repo=`<<<$PRsource sed s/\:/" "/g | awk '{print $1}'`
branch=`<<<$PRsource sed s/\:/" "/g | awk '{print $2}'`
echo "Going to fetch" $branch "from repository" $repo
git clone -b $branch https://github.com/$repo $dirPR
cd $dirPR
fi
rubyPS=`ps aux | grep ruby | grep -v grep`
rubyRunning=`<<<$rubyPS wc -l`
if [ $rubyRunning == "1" ]
then
echo "Ruby is already running, killing..."
rubyPID=`<<<$rubyPS awk '{print $2}'`
kill -9 $rubyPID
echo "Killed. Let's Rock'n'Roll!"
else
echo "Ruby is not here. Let's Rock'n'Roll!"
fi
jekyll serve --host vsrv-ubuntu-getmonero --port 80 -I --detach

for i in "${local[@]}"
do
cp -R _i18n/$i/resources/user-guides/png _site/$i/resources/user-guides/
done
echo "Getmonero stagged for Pull Request" $PRtitle
echo "Please connect to getmonero.<my_domain> and try!"
exit 0
```
Which i called this way: ```./gitter.sh #PRnum```
Then, i connect on my 4 VMs to check for all the browsers:
| Edge | IE 11 | Chrome | Firefox | Opera | Vivaldi
-- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | --
Windows 7 | - | OK | OK | OK | OK | OK
Windows 10 | OK | OK | OK | OK | OK | OK
Ubuntu 18.04 | - | - | OK | OK | OK | OK
CentOS 7 | - | - | - | OK | OK | OK
Only Firefox is perfect out of the box.
All others are showing a lot of carriage return around the <language_name> box:

# How to obtain monero
This is a guide to obtain your own Monero as of 20150919. This is perhaps the easiest way to purchase and hold Monero.
## Step 1: Buy bitcoin
There are many ways to buy bitcoin. Perhaps the easiest way is through circle.com. Once you have purchased some bitcoin, you are ready to buy some Monero! Buying bitcoin is straightforward. Please goto circle.com and just follow the instructions there.
## Step 2: Set up a mymonero.com account
MyMonero.com is an online wallet for Monero, maintained by Monero Core Developer Ricardo Spagni (fluffpony). It is the easiest wallet to use. Simply go to [MyMonero.com](https://mymonero.com) and click on the "Create an Account" button.
![MyMonero!](http://imgur.com/WxFWigW.png)
After clicking the button, you will see your private key. This key is what gives you access to your funds. Never share this key with anyone!
### WRITE DOWN THIS KEY IMMEDIATELY!
![private key](http://imgur.com/fnKPHmf.png)
Type in your private key in the box below, and click the button.
On the next page, you will see your address.
![copy address](http://imgur.com/So59m9J.png)
Copy your address to the clipboard by highlighting the whole thing and hitting ctrl+c (or edit menu, copy), or clicking the little icon next to your address. Save your address somewhere. This is how others will send Monero to you, and what you will use to deposit Monero into your account!
## Step 3: Buy monero and transfer the monero to your new address
Go to www.shapeshift.io . On the righthand side, of the screen, click icon under "Receive" to select Monero.
![Select Monero](http://imgur.com/oc2WRQK.png)
![MONERO!](http://imgur.com/oFddOSU.png)
Paste your address into the field under the Monero logo. Select the "agree to terms" button, then hit "Start"
![Paste monero address](http://imgur.com/YPPdBpB.png)
In the new screen that pops up, copy the Deposit Address into your clipboard (select and hit ctrl+c or edit-copy)
![Copy this address](http://imgur.com/G4b6xW0.png)
Go back to your circle.com page, hit the "transfer" button, and paste the bitcoin address into the field
Enter the amount of bitcoin you would like to spend.
![Select transfer on circle.com](http://imgur.com/WZgpyrc.png)
![paste address](http://imgur.com/agDWCRm.png)
You will get a text message verification code. Enter code and hit send.
![enter code](http://imgur.com/5oLrZlM.png)
You will see the shapeshift change to "awaiting exchange"
![moneys coming](http://imgur.com/SBHRnjv.png)
Then it will change to COMPLETE!
![MONEY CAME](http://imgur.com/EH2xqvq.png)
After a while you will see it in your Monero account

**For Moneropedia entry**
Dust is a generic term given to amount of XMR so low that
1) they have no meaningful value
2) they are very expensive to spend (the transaction fees may be 50% or even 200% of the dust itself)
## The dangers of dust
The dust issue happens in every cryptocurrency and can be used as an attack vector, to bloat the blockchain (much like many 20 bytes files on a file system can bloat a filesystem by using many more clusters than necessary). Dust issue can be mitigated with smart fine-tuning. In the case of Monero, the original pool software had too low a threshold for payment, resulting on a lot of dust. Later, an dust attack was even perpetrated.
## The solution to dust
[MRL-0004](https://lab.monero.cc/pubs/MRL-0004.pdf) implements a solution for dealing with dust in an elegant way: new outputting rules. "No new dust will be created in the system, and dust will only be removed from the system over time"
