Madison

Build Status Scrutinizer Code Quality

Madison is an open-source, collaborative document editing platform. While Madison can be used to collaborate on many different kinds of documents, the official version is being built with legislative and policy documents in mind.

If you have questions about Madison, please open an issue and we will try to respond as soon as possible.

Check out the Madison Documentation or jump right into the Issue Log for more information on the project.

We have created a new, public mailing list for Madison development in Google Groups that you might be interested in subscribing to. We'll be using this as the official channel for all Madison developer news, announcements, and chat from now on. (Though bugs should still be reported here on Github.) You can sign up for it here:

Madison Mailing List

We have also created a very short survey to find out more about the developers using Madison. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey so we can better understand what your needs are and who is using Madison:

Architecture

As of 4.0, Madison is a generally plain Laravel (PHP) application.

Installation

Please take a look at the docs/INSTALL.md or docs/INSTALL.OSX.md files for how to install Madison.

Customization

There are a few different mechanisms for customizing Madison to your liking.

Language & i18n

The majority of the language in the system is defined in the client/app/locales/ folder within relevant JSON files, defined for each supported language. If you create a file that matches the necessary language name in client/app/locales/custom/ this will overwrite what is set as default in the base language files.

Style

Any stylesheets placed within the client/app/sass/custom/ folder will be processed during the build and can overwrite any existing styles. You can also change sass variables here. Reference the sass config files in client/app/sass/config/ to see what variables can be changed.

Test Suite

To run the tests, you will need to make sure to have a database created called madison_testing, then simply run make test.

How to help

  • Open an issue, claim an issue, comment on an issue, or submit a pull request to resolve one
  • Document Madison - wiki documentation, installation guide, or docblocks internally
  • Clean up existing code - I'm sure we've taken shortcuts or added lazy code somewhere.
