+# Cardiff School of Mathematics Code Club
+

+
+Meeting time: Thursdays at 16:00 in room M/0.33.
+(There might be doughnuts)
+
+## Contributing
+
+You are welcome to contribute to the code club website, we need as much
+help as possible in making this the best site on the internet! Below is
+a short list of tasks that need completing:
+
+    - Pages that give a short introduction to most of the popular programming languages
+      would be good. These pages should give a should give a short piece on the history
+      of the language, what it is used for giving well known programs as examples where possible.
+      Also include a "Hello world!" snippet (see below) and some links to further resources, tutorials etc.
+
+    - We should think about maintaining a list of past and current projects that have been worked
+      on at code club. Linking to source code and/or demos when possible
+
+    - We will always need help making the site looking as good as possible
+
+    - Maybe we could go for a terminal theme? Making the text boxes look like output from
+      terminal commands, e.g. the menu could be the output from a "$ ls" command. We could
+      also look at experimenting with CSS animations to add blinking cursors, typing commands etc.
+      Or of anyone has other ideas then I'm open to discussion :)
+
