Accessible at https://commons.africa/_\n\n[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/CodeForAfrica/africanCOMMONS.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/CodeForAfrica/africanCOMMONS)\n\nWhy is everyone reinventing the wheel? Massive amounts of money and time are being wasted on rebuilding solutions for digital democracies and open data. africanCOMMONS showcases carefully selected best-of-breed open source civic technologies that have already been ‘battle tested’ elsewhere, for possible re-use in countries across the continent.\n\nafricanCOMMONS is a carefully curated collection of the world’s best open source software for civic technologies, compatible with our environment, along with a tactical CivicPatterns ‘playbook’ to help digital activists save time, money, and effort. The collection is designed to help citizens, organizations, and governments re-use both code and data for their own projects, free-of-charge, in the most cost-effective way possible to ensure that the bulk of their project budgets are reserved for actual civic engagement rather than technology.\n\n\n## Installation\n\n### Requirements\n\nTo run this site you need:\n\n- Jekyll https://jekyllrb.com/\n- Yarn\n\nTo install the yarn requirements;\n\n```sh\nyarn\n```\n\n### Development\n\nFrom inside the root directory;\n\n1.
