# Mercurius
-Community Newsletter Initiative
+*A Community Newsletter Initiative developed and maintained by OSDC*
+
+## Setting up locally 🚀
+
+- Install hugo on your system (steps vary with different OS). For convenience, refer this [link](https://gohugo.io/installation/).
+- Download and install NodeJs from [here](https://nodejs.org/en/download)
+- Fork and clone the project and follow these steps
+ - `cd Mercurius && npm i` to install npm based dependencies.
+ - `hugo serve` to start the local development server (localhost/port details will be available in console).
+ - To send out mail notifications, update email list from `scripts/mail-scripts/emails.json` followed by `cd scripts/mail-scripts && go run main.go` (though the email list and credentials needed to authenticate this operation will be confidential to maintainers only).
+ - Email template for the mail to be sent is written in HTML format and is super-easy to edit. You can contribute changes to it from `scripts/mail-scripts/email_body.html`,
+
+## Blog Submissions 📖
+
+- Head to `content/post`
+- Write the blog that you wish to publish in a md file and save it this folder.
+- Be sure to include the header at the start of you blog's md (check `content/post/Example1.md`for more).
+- Create a PR and notify the maintainers if your blog doesn't get published within a week.
