Thank you for helping with the vis website. The easiest way for you to contribute to the website is to edit the file directly in your browser. What will happen behind the scenes after you're done with an edit is that GitHub will automatically create a "pull request" from your edit, which will let us know that you would like to update some of the content. Here is a simple guide.
The point-of-contact for each page in the website is the
contact person in each page's front matter. If a page does not have
an assigned contact, then 1) that's possibly a bug that should be
reported, 2) web@ieeevis.org is the default point-of-contact.
This means that if you found a bug on the content of a webpage, you're welcome to create a pull request for the content to get fixed. However, if the fix involves anything more than trivial typos, we will wait for an OK from the point-of-contact before committing the changes.
This is the result of five years of legacy pages written atop of each other. We're slowly improving the situation, but the legacy content is currently quite messy. Pull requests are welcome.
