# About the Bitcoin Core pages on Bitcoin.org
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin.org hosts several pages about Bitcoin Core as well as the
|
|
[Bitcoin Core downloads][bcc download], but the Bitcoin.org and Bitcoin
|
|
Core open source projects are run by separate teams.
|
|
|
|
## History
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin.org was originally used by [Satoshi Nakamoto][] to host his
|
|
[Bitcoin paper][bitcoinpdf]. Soon after, it began linking to
|
|
downloadable versions of the original Bitcoin software, making it the
|
|
homepage for the Bitcoin program.
|
|
|
|
New educational content about Bitcoin was added to Bitcoin.org over
|
|
time, but that home page remained even when the name of the original
|
|
program was changed to Bitcoin Core.
|
|
|
|
In the years since, the amount of content on Bitcoin.org has continued
|
|
to increase. There's more content about Bitcoin Core than ever before
|
|
and also more content about other Bitcoin software and resources.
|
|
|
|
## Separation of concerns
|
|
|
|
As of Dec 2015, Bitcoin.org has 876 pages in 25 different languages,
|
|
but fewer than 100 of those pages belong to Bitcoin Core. The Bitcoin
|
|
Core project has no control over those non-Core pages or any polices
|
|
enacted on them.
|
|
|
|
Likewise, content provided through the Bitcoin Core pages is not
|
|
necessarily endorsed or supported by the Bitcoin.org contributors.
|
|
|
|
## Maintenance
|
|
|
|
Pull requests and issues directly relating to Bitcoin Core are tagged as
|
|
*[Core][core github tag]* in the Bitcoin.org repository.
