Originally a Drupal site, it was rewritten in 2012 with Ruby on Rails and has since extended but [not yet entirely replaced](https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/956) the legacy Drupal data model and database design. We ❤️ Open Source and actively participate in various OSS programs such as [Google Summer of Code(GSoC)](https://publiclab.org/wiki/gsoc), Rails Girls Summer of Code (RGSoC), Outreachy, and Google Code-In (GCI).

 ### Windows Installation
 
 We recommend you either work in a virtual environment, or on a dual booted system to avoid dependencies issues as Unix systems tend to work smoother with Ruby and Rails. This will not only benefit you now for plots2, but also in the future while working on other Ruby projects, a Linux or Mac based OS will make your development much easier.
