Suddenly I've got a few questions in PM and e-mail about Hacktoberfest 2017 participation with e-maxx-eng — I dare to confirm and explain a few details in a post.

1. Yes, digitalocean announced new Hacktoberfest: https://blog.digitalocean.com/hacktoberfest-2017/

2. Yes, it is possible (and easy) to get t-shirt here — just create 4 meaningful pull-requests on github to any meaningful repository (which are accepted) and then claim your T-shirt (you'll need to enter your nickname at their site and then probably your postal address and T-shirt size).

3. Yes, we have tried it in 2016 inspired by Maria (aka Nickolas) — and yes, T-shirts came. I received mine in about a month. (only I think the colors of design were somewhat bleak — see picture below)

4. Yes, e-maxx-eng project is as suitable for contribution as others — you can either translate one of still untranslated pages from original site, or propose your own original article. Please kindly refer to instruction or our 2016 post.

5. As about the effect of our attempt — it seems thanks to all your help was not in vain — current website stats show that user activity gradually increased from roughly 5 to 500 pageviews per day through the year. I know it is not much, but given that site is rather specific in its content and comparatively young — you may be sure people visit it, people read your work.

So feel free to participate. You even need not use git for nowadays github allows editing in web-interface (see instruction and demo-video). Feel free to ask and sorry if sometimes (we are somewhat slow to respond). Feel free to report bugs, suggestions.

And Thanks to Maria (aka Nickolas) for driving this process through the last year!

P.S. As to question "how t-shirts looked like" — I've found a picture in Anna Dodson blog post which may give some idea:
