-# Description
+# "The Rails Port"

 
 

-This is the Rails port, the [Ruby on Rails](http://rubyonrails.org/)
-application that powers [OpenStreetMap](http://www.openstreetmap.org).

+[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website?branch=master)

 
 

-The Rails port provides almost all the services which are available 
-on the OpenStreetMap site, including:
+This is The Rails Port, the [Ruby on Rails](http://rubyonrails.org/)
+application that powers the [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org) website and API.
+The software is also known as "openstreetmap-website".

 
 

-* The web site itself, including the edit pages.
-* The editing [API](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6).
-* Browse pages - a web front-end to the OpenStreetMap data.
-* The user system, including preferences, diary entries, friends and
-  user-to-user messaging.
-* GPX uploads, browsing and API.
+This repository consists of:

 
 

-There are some non-Rails services which the site includes, for 
-example; tiles, geocoding, GPX file loading. There are also some
-utilities which provide other services on the OpenStreetMap site,
-or improve its function, but are not integrated with the Rails 
-port, for example; Osmosis, CGImap.
+* The web site, including user accounts, diary entries, user-to-user messaging
+* The XML-based editing [API](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6)
+* The integrated versions of the [Potlatch](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch_1), [Potlatch 2](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch_2) and [iD](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID) editors

-
-# Running it
-
-You can find documentation on [how to setup and
-run](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/The_Rails_Port) the software
-on the OpenStreetMap wiki.
-
-# Hacking it
-
-The canonical Git repository for this software is hosted at
-[git.openstreetmap.org](http://git.openstreetmap.org/?p=rails.git),
-but much of the development is done on GitHub and for most people
-[this repository on Github](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website)
-will be a better place to start.
-
-Anybody hacking on the code is welcome to join the
-[rails-dev](http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rails-dev) mailing
-list where other people hacking on the code hang out and will be happy
-to help with any problems you may encounter. If you are looking for a
-project to help out with, please take a look at the list of 
-[Top Ten Tasks](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Tasks) that
-EWG maintains on the wiki.
-
-There are also weekly IRC meetings, at 1800 GMT on Mondays in #osm-ewg on
-the OFTC network where questions can be asked and ideas discussed. For more 
-information, please see [the EWG page]
-(http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Engineering_Working_Group#Meetings). You can
-join the channel using your favourite IRC client or [irc.openstreetmap.org](http://irc.openstreetmap.org/).

-## Rails
-
-If you're not already familiar with Ruby on Rails then it's probably
-worth having a look at [Rails Guides](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/) for an introduction.
-
-While working with Rails you will probably find the [API documentation](http://api.rubyonrails.org/)
-helpful as a reference.
-
-## Coding style
+A fully-functional Rails Port installation depends on other services, including map tile
+servers and geocoding services, that are provided by other software. The default installation
+uses publicly-available services to help with development and testing.

 
 

-When writing code it is generally a good idea to try and match your
-formatting to that of any existing code in the same file, or to other
-similar files if you are writing new code. Consistency of layout is
-far more important that the layout itself as it makes reading code
-much easier.
-
-One golden rule of formatting -- please don't use tabs in your code
-as they will cause the file to be formatted differently for different
-people depending on how they have their editor configured.
-
-## Testing
-
-Having a good suite of tests is very important to the stability and
-maintainability of any code base. The tests in the Rails port code are
-by no means complete, but they are extensive, and must continue to be
-so with any new functionality which is written. Tests are also useful
-in giving others confidence in the code you've written, and can
-greatly speed up the process of merging in new code.
-
-When hacking, you should:
-
-* Write new tests to cover the new functionality you've added.
-* Where appropriate, modify existing tests to reflect new or changed
-functionality.
-* Never comment out or remove a test just because it doesn't pass.
-
-## Comments
-
-Sometimes it's not apparent from the code itself what it does, or,
-more importantly, **why** it does that. Good comments help your fellow
-developers to read the code and satisfy themselves that it's doing the
-right thing.
-
-When hacking, you should:
-
-* Comment your code - don't go overboard, but explain the bits which
-might be difficult to understand what the code does, why it does it
-and why it should be the way it is.
-* Check existing comments to ensure that they are not misleading.
-
-## Committing
+# License

 
 

-When you submit patches, the project maintainer has to read them and
-understand them. This is difficult enough at the best of times, and
-misunderstanding patches can lead to them being more difficult to
-merge. To help with this, when submitting you should:
+This software is licensed under the [GNU General Public License 2.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt),
+a copy of which can be found in the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file.

 
 

-* Split up large patches into smaller units of functionality.
-* Keep your commit messages relevant to the changes in each individual
-unit.
+# Installation

 
 

-When writing commit messages please try and stick to the same style as
-other commits, namely:
+The Rails Port is a Ruby on Rails application that uses PostgreSQL as its database, and has a large
+number of dependencies for installation. For full details please see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)

 
 

-* A one line summary, starting with a capital and with no full stop.
-* A blank line.
-* Full description, as proper sentences with capitals and full stops.
+# Development

 
 

-For simple commits the one line summary is often enough and the body
-of the commit message can be left out.
+We're always keen to have more developers! Pull requests are very welcome.

 
 

-## Sending the patches
+* Bugs are recorded in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues).
+* Some bug reports are also found on the [OpenStreetMap trac](https://trac.openstreetmap.org/) system, in the "[website](https://trac.openstreetmap.org/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=website&order=priority)" and "[api](https://trac.openstreetmap.org/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=api&order=priority)" components
+* Translation is managed by [Translatewiki](https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:OpenStreetMap)
+* There is a [rails-dev@openstreetmap.org](https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rails-dev) mailing list for development discussion.
+* IRC - there is the #osm-dev channel on irc.oftc.net.

 
 

-If you have forked on GitHub then the best way to submit your patches is to
-push your changes back to GitHub and then send a "pull request" on GitHub.
+More details on contributing to the code are in the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file.

 
 

-Otherwise you should either push your changes to a publicly visible git repository
-and send the details to the [rails-dev](http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rails-dev)
-list or generate patches with `git format-patch` and send them to the
-[rails-dev](http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rails-dev) list.
