About the index

Source files

The source files for this index are stored in two kinds of files:

• Under features/ there are .geojson files to describe the areas where the communities are active
• Under resources/ there are .json files to describe the community resources

👉 See CONTRIBUTING.md for info about how to add your community resource to this index.

Distributed Files

Several files are published under dist/

• features.json - An object containing all the features
• resources.json - An object containing all the resources
• combined.geojson - A GeoJSON file containing a FeatureCollection of all Features, each with available resources included as properties.
• index.js - a commonjs module which exports the features and resources objects

tl;dr

• Add a feature .geojson file under features/ folder
  • This is a boundary around where the resource is active
  • You can use geojson.io to create these
• Add a resource .json file under resources/ folder
  • This contains info about what the resource is (slack, forum, mailinglist, facebook, etc.)
  • You can just copy and change an existing one
  • Several resources can share the same .geojson feature
• npm run test
  • This will build and check for errors and make the files pretty
