Greetings to the initial development update for Ethereum.org<\/a>, the inaugural entry in a consistent series of blog articles keeping the community informed on the website’s advancements.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When we relaunched ethereum.org earlier this year<\/a>, it swiftly became evident that the website required a dedicated team to fulfill the community’s anticipations. Throughout the summer, we have focused on establishing that team to sustain the website’s future. Today, we are excited to declare that the EF has enlisted a full-time web developer for ethereum.org: Sam Richards<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sam’s position will involve spearheading all technical enhancements of ethereum.org and serving as the primary contact for all open-source contributors to the website. Sam brings expertise in web development, digital marketing, and SEO, having most recently been employed at an Ethereum wallet startup.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are incredibly excited for Sam to become part of the team – please join us in welcoming him to the EF!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of our top priorities with the website’s overhaul was to establish a comprehensive translation initiative. Ethereum is the most widely used programmable blockchain worldwide, and it is essential that the 80% of individuals who do not speak English can access vital resources.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since we announced the initiative, we have been joined by 116 volunteers<\/strong> who are diligently working to translate the website into 17 languages<\/a>.<\/strong> Several of these translations will be made live on the site in the forthcoming weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we proceed to expand the translation efforts, we will broaden our scope to incorporate the translation of important third-party resources: blog entries, documentation, and additional materials. We are also focused on ensuring that ethereum.org<\/a> is constructed in a manner that allows us to add and update translations efficiently and sustainably.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interested in contributing? Discover more about the ethereum.org Translation Initiative and get started here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since our launch, we have merged 102 pull requests, making numerous adjustments and modifications to the website in response to community feedback. With Sam now part of the team, we anticipate a significant increase in our pace. As always, the development of ethereum.org<\/a> occurs in our Github repository<\/a> – check it out if you wish to stay updated or work on any existing issues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have also launched the first new piece of artwork<\/a> for the homepage. Every few months, we will refresh the website with new artwork crafted by the Ethereum community – a method of highlighting the talents within our ecosystem and reminding the world that Ethereum is constantly evolving and enhancing due to the contributions of our global community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s a glimpse of our focus areas for the upcoming weeks:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/li>\nWhat have we been engaged in?<\/h2>\n
