Description

The website source code is hosted on GitHub under the RITcraft organization. The website is mostly static information with some PHP added to retrieve the status of a Minecraft server and for some other minor features.

Since the website is open source (under the Apache License 2.0), new contributions are accepted as pull requests in the GitHub repository. Any changes to the website should always be submitted as pull requests. Peer review is encouraged, especially if the RITcraft executive board has five or more members.

For help updating the website, please contact a system administrator (find a directory here: System administrator).
