This repository consists of: * The web site, including user accounts, diary entries, user-to-user messaging. * The XML- and JSON-based editing API. * 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. # License This software is licensed under the GNU General Public License 2.0, a copy of which can be found in the LICENSE file. # Installation `openstreetmap-website` is a Ruby on Rails application that uses PostgreSQL as its database, and has a large number of dependencies for installation.
