One community — multiple projects. It’s that simple.
In a mood for launching your own project? Create a blog and be the only narrator there, let selected people post; or run a forum with vibrant discussion threads by anyone — it’s possible to switch anytime.
Put notes and tags on the map, see all notes within polygon-located tags, import relations from OpenStreetMap, export data as GeoJSON, mark locations with issues — and expect more geography to come.
The structure is simple, yet flexible.
Be it just a paragraph, a link, an image, a document, or a fully fledged article with lots of these, notes are basic units of information here.
The main tool for organizing notes — but wait, you can tag other tags, too! Tag pages show content which is explicitly tagged with child tags, too. What’s more, data marked as geographically located inside is also shown.
Useful for collecting and highlighting notes. Find them listed on project main pages.
Great for marking issues. Find them later on a special page called Chaos.
Consider it a commitment to safeguarding collected knowledge.
Do you already have a website elsewhere? Let’s prepare its data for import. Don’t worry, this includes redirects to a new location.
Every project can choose how to restrict its data usage. Protect your findings or let the world copy them like Wikipedia articles — the choice is yours!
It’s possible to use custom domains for projects — optionally. Hopefully you choose to stay — but if you don’t, your audience will follow you.
Every day, well-structured ZIP files with all text data and uploads are generated for each project. Make them public or keep to yourselves.
