Contributing:
What would help is more people developing on the HTML/CSS/JS side as everyone in the current team has day-jobs and Evo work. (we are looking for a fullstack HTML/CS/JS developer with Backbone experience to do this fulltime). If you know someone for the fulltime position, or you are willing to contribute please get in touch (ping me here or email andy at dash.org) or submit your pull requests to the main repo:
https://github.com/perrywoodin/dash-website (will be moved to dashpay when we go live)
Testing:
We'd appreciate help with general testing links, content, missing items (like forums, merchants, dash websites we can link), translations, images, copy
Bugs / Issues / Suggestions:
You can report suggestions here or for issues please post on the Github repo:
https://github.com/perrywoodin/dash-website
Go live:
Once we're happy the beta is ready and the remaining work done we can launch it to dash.org, and maintain the current site for a time on e.g. old.dash.org
Next phase (V3)
The next version will be the Evo version, with the main call to action being to signup a user account instead of downloading a wallet. This has been taken into consideration so this site is half way there already and we can reuse the architecture. We will start on V3 soon as this one is launched.
PS:
Special thanks to Perry & Sean from Node40 for putting in a lot of hours and foundations for this outside of their day job hosting Masternodes at
https://node40.com/
By the way,
@0xfff made a masternode visualizer in WebGL. We didn't have time to put it in the beta as it needs optimizing and some browser detection (as it needs a 3D card and latest browser too) so it's just a static image on the homepage for now. but you can checkout the live version here:

Thanks,
