Decidim is a participatory democracy framework, written in Ruby on Rails, originally developed for the Barcelona City government online and offline participation website. Installing these libraries will provide you a generator and gems to help you develop web applications like the ones found on example applications or like our demo application.
All members of the Decidim community agree with Decidim Social Contract or Code of Democratic Guarantees.
TLDR: install gem, generate a Ruby on Rails app, enjoy.
gem install decidim
decidim decidim_applicationWe have set up a guide on how to install, set up and upgrade Decidim. See the Getting started guide.
Anyone can participate in Metadecidim, our own distance of Decidim for improving Decidim. The community is formed by people with different profiles and backgrounds.
How can you contribute? There are many ways to do it, some more specific to the software -improving documentation or translations, reporting bugs or proposing improvements-, but you can also participate in discussions about the governance of the community (find out how we organize ourselves).
Having a lively community is crucial to this project, so we encourage you to find out what is the best way for you to contribute to the commons! 🌱
