Adding new publications

• The publications page is located at visualinteractivedata.github.io/publications.
• To add a new publication, please follow the instructions in the Google Sheet located in the vishub group/website folder.
• DO NOT edit the csv directly. Your changes will be overwritten as soon as the next person uses the Google Sheet to update the list.

Adding people

To add a new group member, edit the _data/people.json file.

To add a masters student or alumnus, edit the people.md file.

Adding a project

To add a new project page, create a new .md file in `_projects/.

You can also edit _config.yml to set the order in which projects are listed on the homepage; projects without a specified position will appear at the end of the list.

How to work on this site locally

• Make sure you have Ruby and Jekyll installed
• Clone this repo to your computer
• Open a command line in that folder, run "bundle update" then "bundle exec jekyll serve"
• The website should now be available at localhost:4000

This works on my (Sarah's) Windows setup - cannot vouch for anything else, but this is the general principle of running Jekyll sites locally

Alternatively, you can run Jekyll inside docker using:

docker run -v $(pwd):/srv/jekyll -it jekyll/builder jekyll build
