How the Site Works (Technical Details)

The website is generated using Jekyll, a static site generator. Content is managed in YAML data files and Markdown, making it easy to update and maintain.

Key Files and Directories:

• _data/: Contains the YAML files that store the timeline data (timeline.yml) and the external links (links.yml). This is where you'll contribute new events and links!
• _includes/: Contains reusable HTML components, such as the footer (footer.html).
• _layouts/: Contains the main site layout (default.html).
• assets/: Contains your CSS, images, and the favicon.
• index.md: The main content file for the homepage.

Contributing

We welcome contributions to keep the timeline comprehensive and current. Here's how you can contribute:

1. Fork the Repository: Fork this repository to your GitHub account.

2. Add or Update Events:

   • Open the _data/timeline.yml file.

   • Add new events following this structure. Use month names for the date:

     - year: 2024 # The year of the event
       events:
         - date: July # Date format: Month
           info:
             - text: "**New Amazing AI Model Released!**" # Event description (use **bold** for emphasis).
             - text: "More details about the release."
               special: true # Add `special: true` to highlight events

   • You can also add new links in _data/links.yml using a similar structure.

3. Commit and Push: Commit your changes and push them to your forked repository.

4. Create a Pull Request: Create a pull request from your forked repository to the main repository.

5. Review and Merge: Your pull request will be reviewed, and after approval, will be merged into the main timeline.
