lyzidiamond / mapgroups Goto Github PK

This will be particularly useful for adding a new mapgroup, people can draw the point then add the information ... then that info will be stored somewhere but not sure exactly where yet.

It would be really awesome to get this thing working from a public JSON/geoJSON site instead of a google spreadsheet, but the trouble is POSTing data on the client side without server actions or authentication.

Maybe we could do this pseudo process for submissions, keeping things attached to a github account, which I think is okay:

1. Fill out form with information (could even allow to choose location on map instead of picking coordinates)
2. Populate geoJSON feature with form information
3. OAuth the app through github's auth process - similar to geojson.io
4. geoJSON feature created form form can be added to the main geojson object with every other map group
5. people pull request their newly forked repo with updated geojson and it can be merged into this repo with new information.
6. get happy

That may be overly complicated, but would be awesome to learn the process!

I don't think we need a master branch on this any longer, what do you think? Could set the main branch as gh-pages through the settings and remove the master via setting up the gh-pages branch on your local and deleting master:

git checkout -b gh-pages origin/gh-pages
git branch -D master
git push origin :master

I would do this but I don't have access to the settings 👯
