The project is hosted at GitHub, which allows for everyone to add and manage their map entries by themselves! This is pretty cool.

Learn about 3 ways how to manage your entry:

This is the best option: fork the repo, add or update your entry and send a pull request. Once merged, it will be live on the map! 💯

Second best option: if you’re not familiar with forking and pull requests, just open a GitHub issue with your data inside. We’ll take care and add your data to the map.

Worst option, but no worries, we’d love to help! If you don’t have a GitHub account at all or you do not feel comfortable to open an issue containing your data, just send it to us. Email: friendsof [at] redaxo.org

Btw: what data? 👇

Have a look at the example file .data.example.yml. Aside from dummy data it contains a lot of helpful comments on how to structure your data!

For your entry, add a new folder inside of _directory/data. It is best to name the folder after your name so that you can find it later. Add a data.yml which contains your data according to the example file. Also add an image to the folder, if you don’t want to refer to an external image (like gravatar.com).

If you're not sure, take a look at existing user folders to see how to do it. And no worries, the data is always save, you cannot do anything wrong!

The map requires your name or nickname and your geo position. Everything else is optional. Of course we'd all love to read more about you and maybe see your picture! But it’s completely up to you whether to provide it or not!
