The whole platform code is available as Open Source to the community. The source code can be freely downloaded, modified and shared.

The platform for the portal is generic and would support a variety of map-based participatory activity. Essentially, the platform provides rich geographical visualization of layers and themes; it provides a method for users to locate an area on the map, mark it and attach multimedia annotations and comments to the location. The platform has been built largely with Open Source Software. We will actively solicit participation in code development and would encourage actively and passively, widespread use of the platform in a variety of domains.
