Website for "Where does Cameroon's Money Go?"
=============================================

This contains the web frontend to the Cameroon budget site, a front-end
to the OpenSpending platform built in cooperation with the World Bank.

Initialize the repository
-------------------------

To run the site for local development, follow these steps:

* Install [Jekyll](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki)
* Make sure you're on the branch gh-pages
* Fetch the openspendingjs submodule with:
* `git submodule init`
* `git submodule update`

Generate the site
-----------------

The site can be generated with this command from the repository root:

jekyll serve --watch

This will run an HTTP server at port 4000 to serve the site.

Datasets
--------

The data on the site comes from 2 datasets: cm-budgets and cm-pib.
