The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap

openstreetmap-website

This is openstreetmap-website, the Ruby on Rails
application that powers the OpenStreetMap website and API.

This repository consists of:

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

A fully-functional openstreetmap-website 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.
