9 | Website repository for Govdirectory - a crowdsourced and fact-checked directory of official governmental online accounts and services.
10 |
11 | Govdirectory aims to become a global directory of government agencies and their online presence by utilizing Wikidata.
12 | Wikidata's community, sourceability, versioning, and potential custom tooling that we create will ensure that not only should the information be correct but when it isn't, because of vandalism or something else, users will be able, and suggested, to validate the information.
13 | The goal is for this directory to be useful to journalists, web-archivists, researchers and many others, certainly including regular citizens.
14 |
15 | > [!TIP]
16 | > Every Friday at 15.00 CET/CEST we have an open session in [Jitsi](https://meet.jit.si/GovdirectoryCollabHour) where we hack and work on the data together. Everyone is welcome and it's open for questions.
17 |
18 | ## Development setup
19 |
20 | Govdirectory is a static site meaning that it already has all of its pages generated when a visitor visits it. Govdirectory uses Snowman and [SPARQL](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/) to do this.
21 |
22 | Because each initial build of Snowman issues thousands (yes thousands) of SPARQL queries one should never make an **initial** build against `query.wikidata.org` but rather against a local Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) instance. However, because setting up a WDQS instance is not trivial, we provide a copy of a [Snowman build cache directory](https://github.com/govdirectory/website-cache). If in use, this will ensure Snowman only queries Wikidata when a query is updated.
23 |
24 | > [!TIP]
25 | > Some of the most common development commands are available through [Just](https://github.com/casey/just), if you do not use just you can still look in the `justfile` for hints.
26 |
27 | ### Prerequisites
28 |
29 | - [Git](https://git-scm.com/)
30 | - [Snowman](https://github.com/glaciers-in-archives/snowman)
31 | - **Optionally**: A local WDQS instance
32 |
33 | 1\. Clone the project:
34 |
35 | ```shell
36 | git clone https://github.com/govdirectory/website
37 | ```
38 |
39 | 2\. Get a recent build cache:
40 |
41 | ```shell
42 | cd website
43 | git clone https://github.com/govdirectory/website-cache .snowman
44 | ```
45 |
46 | 3\. Build the website and run the development server:
47 |
48 | ```shell
49 | snowman build && snowman server
50 | ```
51 |
52 | ### Advanced topics
53 |
54 | - [Setting up your own WDQS instance](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/User_Manual#Standalone_service)
55 | - [Snowman: Working with cache](https://github.com/glaciers-in-archives/snowman#working-with-cache)
56 |
57 | ## Usage
58 |
59 | Intended to be used through the website at [govdirectory.org](https://govdirectory.org).
60 |
61 | ## Maintainers
62 |
63 | - [Abbe98](https://github.com/Abbe98)
64 | - [Ainali](https://github.com/Ainali)
65 |
66 | For now, the maintainers have the final say in all matters, but we are taking all opinions from contributors into consideration.
67 | When the community grows, we are planning to shift to a governance model with shared responsibilities.
68 | Besides pinging us in [issues](https://github.com/govdirectory/website/issues), [pull requests](https://github.com/govdirectory/website/pulls) and [discussions](https://github.com/govdirectory/website/discussions), you can also reach us on Mastodon where we are [@ainali](https://social.coop/@ainali) and [@abbe98](https://mastodon.social/@abbe98).

72 | ### Unlock accelerator program
73 |
74 | This project participated in the [Unlock accelerator program](https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/) program ([original application](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ainali/Social_media_for_public_organizations/Unlock)).
75 |
76 | During the accelerator, which ended in October 2021, we defined a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to: "As an MVP we want to create a working website where people can search, filter, and add data about Swedish and British public institutions and their social media accounts."
77 |
78 | Specifically, we want to acknowledge all the help our coach [Fabian Gampp](https://www.fabiangampp.de/) gave to us. Besides general good mentorship, we wouldn't have had such a bold direction of the design of the website without him.
79 |
80 | ### Matomo server
81 |
82 | [Wikimedia Sverige](https://github.com/Wikimedia-Sverige) is graciously providing us with Matomo analytics. [The dashboard](https://matomo.wikimedia.se/index.php?module=CoreHome&idSite=7) has been made publicly accessible.
