As you might guess, contributions to this website, and to the AAS WorldWide Telescope in general, are welcome! See the contributors’ guide for more information (also available in this repository as CONTRIBUTING.md). We use a standard workflow with issues and pull requests.
Our GitHub Pages sites, such as this one, use the just-the-docs Jekyll theme. The just-the-docs documentation describes its features.
This site is based on a standard Jekyll static site system. As of this writing (April 2022), Jekyll is stuck on Ruby 2.7, while most of the rest of the world has moved on to the Ruby 3.x series. You may need to set up and use a custom environment with Ruby 2.7 (and C/C++ compilers for building binary gems), e.g.:
conda activate ruby27
Once you’ve dealt with that, run
bundle install
to make sure that the needed tools are installed, then run
bundle exec jekyll serve
to serve the site locally. For more information, see the GitHub documentation on Jekyll static sites.
The AAS WorldWide Telescope system is a .NET Foundation project managed by the non-profit American Astronomical Society (AAS). Work on WWT has been supported by the AAS, the US National Science Foundation, and other partners. See the WWT user website for details.
