+title: "gem5 Website Redesign"

+
+Welcome to gem5's new website!
+The old wiki has needed a refresh for a few years (see screenshot below), and we're excited to finally have something to share with the community!
+We hope the new site has better usability and makes it easier to find information about gem5 and how to use it.
+If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to reach out on the gem5-dev [mailing list](/mailing_lists)!
+
+
+*gem5's original website*
+
+
+## Status of the new website
+
+Details on the current status of the migration can be found [on Jira](https://gem5.atlassian.net/browse/GEM5-110).
+We also have a specific issue for [migrating the old documentation to the new site](https://gem5.atlassian.net/browse/GEM5-115).
+We've already moved most of the documentation, but there are still a few pages that we could use your help with!
+
+There will be some rough edges as we transition.
+Some links may be broken, and it's possible we missed pages that should be migrated.
+If you find any issues, please let us know via the [mailing list](/mailing_lists) or by opening an issue on [Jira](https://gem5.atlassian.net/).
+
+The website is currently hosted on GitHub pages.
+If you'd like to contribute, feel free to create a [pull request](https://github.com/gem5/new-website/pulls) on the [source repository](https://github.com/gem5/new-website).
+
+## Next steps
+
+We will leave this website at new.gem5.org for the next few weeks.
+Please let us know if there's any blocking issues before we turn off the old wiki pages.
+Before fully transitioning, we will download a static copy of the entire old website (including the old code reviews) and move this to old.gem5.org for archival purposes (and in case we missed anything!).
+
+### Open issues
+
+There's many thing that can be improved with the new website, but I don't believe any are blocking.
+A few things that we'd like help with include
+
+- Improving the documentation interface. Adding documentation is confusing since you have to both create the file and update `_data/documentation.yml`.
+- Making the documentation more easily discoverable.
+- Adding more documentation (always!)
+- Fixing broken links
+- Minor style sheet cleanups (e.g., the logo scrolls away when on documentation pages)
+
+### Blog posts
+
+We're also looking for more blog contributors!
+I would like to see 2-3 blog posts a month covering things like new gem5 features, how to use gem5 informally, workloads, cool papers published using gem5, etc.
+Feel free to reach out to me (jason@lowepower.com) if you have other ideas as well!
+If you'd like to contribute to the blog, open a PR on [GitHub](https://github.com/gem5/new-website).
