MapMill is our tool for sorting imagery produced with [balloon mapping](/tool/balloon-mapping). It takes hours to go through the thousands of images we're capturing from balloons and kites, to pick out the best ones for inclusion in our [free and open source maps](http://grassrootsmapping.org/data). Help us by choosing the [sharpest, clearest, best images](http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1276/4703515530_4482bc2f15_o.png). ###Planning & proposed features### * make mapmill able to rename sites -- also in database * make mapmill able to store links to all formats * tag sites "gulf coast" etc, and .org/sort/gulf-coast/ should let you sort just that tag * use AJAX to load a new image ###Long-term goals & features### * add a map of the site so you can make a guess where it fits, and possible use of a base map to assess the quality of a particular image ###Setting up your own local version of MapMill### * Download the Bitnami RubyStack: link * Run the installer. * Go to the main Bitnami folder which was just installed, called "rubystack-2.2-2" * Download this version of MapMill and unzip it in the "projects" folder inside "rubystack-2.2-2". * From the commandline: * go to the main Bitnami folder which was just installed, called "rubystack-2.2-2" * type ".rubyconsole" * you're now in the local Bitnami ruby shell * type "cd projects/mapmill" to get to the mapmill folder * type "rake db:migrate" * if it runs with no errors, type "script/server" * go to "http://localhost:3000" in your web browser
