This is the opengeofiction fork of the openstreetmap-website. It powers the opengeofiction.net website, which uses the OSM software "stack" to implement a website where people can draw imaginary digital maps on a shared, imaginary world.

The customization of the OSM Rails Port is currently quite ad hoc and quite specific to the opengeofiction application, but our long term intention is to develop this fork to better enable anyone interested in using the OSM stack for geofiction to set up their own server.

Contact information for the team of volunteers who host and run the opengeofiction website is found here.

Installation of the site can be done following the current INSTALL.md referenced below. A geofiction-specific INSTALL will eventually be written, including instruction for how to set up the render (which is a must-have for a alternate planet), overpass (a data query system), and other ancilliary pieces of the OSM stack.

This is The Rails Port, the Ruby on Rails application that powers the OpenStreetMap website and API. The software is also known as "openstreetmap-website".

This repository consists of:

• The web site, including user accounts, diary entries, user-to-user messaging.
• The XML-based editing API.
• The integrated version of the iD editors.
• The Browse pages - a web front-end to the OpenStreetMap data.
• The GPX uploads, browsing and API.

A fully-functional Rails Port installation depends on other services, including map tile servers and geocoding services, that are provided by other software. The default installation uses publicly-available services to help with development and testing.

This software is licensed under the GNU General Public License 2.0, a copy of which can be found in the LICENSE file.

The Rails Port is a Ruby on Rails application that uses PostgreSQL as its database, and has a large number of dependencies for installation. For full details please see INSTALL.md.

We're always keen to have more developers! Pull requests are very welcome.

• Bugs are recorded in the issue tracker.
• Some bug reports are also found on the OpenStreetMap trac system, in the "website" and "api" components.
• Translation is managed by Translatewiki.
• There is a [email protected] mailing list for development discussion.
• IRC - there is the #osm-dev channel on irc.oftc.net.

More details on contributing to the code are in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
