This is the site for the Technology for Social Justice Field Scan, a participatory action research project led by Research Action Design and supported by the Open Technology Institute at The New America Foundation. It was developed by Maya Wagoner.
After getting permission from someone on the T4SJ team (like Maya???), you can edit photos, text, and posts through the Siteleaf CMS-style interface. Just create and account and start editing. It's rly easy.
To edit the code, there are a couple more steps, but not too much.
This website is running on Jekyll, and uses the Jekyll Admin Interface. To use it, you'll need to have Ruby, Git, and Jekyll installed. If you already have those, awesome, just clone this repository and start a Jekyll server:
bundle exec jekyll serve
and navigate your browser to localhost:4000
Yay! You can (hopefully) now see the site in action.
If that didnt work, you might be missing some of the dependencies.
Do you have Ruby? Open your command line (the program is called Terminal on a Mac) and check.
ruby -v
If you don't, install it.
Do you have git?
git --version
If you don't, you'll have to install that.
Do you have Jekyll?
gem install jekyll bundler
That command should install Jekyll and the bundler for you.
Let me know if there was another dependency I missed, and I'll add it to this readme.
The homepage timeline is a modified version of the Responsive Timeline by Clay Larson.
The "Search Projects & Organizations" page is based on togetherlist, which was created by Sougwen, Raihan & Willow and a bunch of other contributors.
It was modified at the (now defunct) Public Interest Tech Site, and you can find more info over there.
