information. A page about contributing might be a solution, or then a
rethink of the developer page. The new brand style actually provides better
tools for cleaner information presentation. I'll talk with a web developer
about how to present the information and start trying things.

thinking. It probably can be achieved partially on the developer page, but
it needs wordings in many places.
