The sources of the Sigasi Insights portal are hosted on Github. So if you find a typo or an error, you can fix this yourself. GitHub also makes it easy to make bigger contributes such as a guest blog.
Small fixes can be made on the website of GitHub, without installing extra tools.
For bigger changes, it is better to build the website on your own machine first, and creating a pull request later.
