Most existing Consul Democracy installations will have changed their `config.i18n.available_locales` option so only a few locales are available. In many cases, only one locale will be available. In these cases, rendering a form that only offers one option is useless. We've considered adding a text in this case mentioning that, in order to enable more languages, they need to configure their `config.i18n.available_locales`. However, we haven't done it for two reasons. First, if they've changed the available locales to just one, there's a good chance they aren't interested at all in configuring the locales. And, second, if there's only one available locale, administrators will learn to ignore the "languages" link, so they won't realize that locales can be configured if developers change the available locales. If we hide the link, on the other hand, they will notice that locales can now be configured once developers change the available locales. Note we're still allowing access by entering the URL. This is harmless, though, since people accessing it this way will see a form with only one possible option and won't be able to modify anything.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY
Citizen Participation and Open Government Application
This is the opensource code repository of the eParticipation website CONSUL DEMOCRACY, originally developed for the Madrid City government eParticipation website, and currently maintained by the open source software community in collaboration with the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation.
Documentation
Check the ongoing documentation to learn more about how to start your own CONSUL DEMOCRACY fork, install it, customize it and learn to use it as an administrator/maintainer.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation and project website
You can access the main website of the project at http://consuldemocracy.org where you can find information about the use of the platform, the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation, the global community of users and local partners, news, and ways to get more support or get in touch.
Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: For more detailed instructions check the docs
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 3.2.4, CMake, pkg-config, shared-mime-info, Node.js 18.20.3 and PostgreSQL (>=9.5).
git clone https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy.git
cd consuldemocracy
bin/setup
bin/rake db:dev_seed
Run the app locally:
bin/rails s
You can run the tests with:
bin/rspec
Note: running the whole test suite on your machine might take more than an hour, so it's strongly recommended that you setup a Continuous Integration system in order to run them using parallel jobs every time you open or modify a pull request (if you use GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, this is already configured in .github/workflows/tests.yml and .gitlab-ci.yml) and only run tests related to your current task while developing on your machine. When you configure the application for the first time, it's recommended that you run at least one test in spec/models/ and one test in spec/system/ to check your machine is properly configured to run the tests.
You can use the default admin user from the seeds file:
user: admin@consul.dev pass: 12345678
But for some actions like voting, you will need a verified user, the seeds file also includes one:
user: verified@consul.dev pass: 12345678
Configuration for production environments

Current state
Development started on 2015 July 15th. Code was deployed to production on 2015 september 7th to decide.madrid.es. Since then new features are added often. You can take a look at the current features at the project's website and future features at the Roadmap and open issues list.
