Overview

The Git repo for the Open Definition website is focused on the Open Definition (OD). The current version of OD is 2.1 and the website offers numerous translations. The preferred method for submitting new translations is by adding a od/2.1/{language code}/index.markdown file and sending a pull request on the gh-pages branch. The repository contains several pages related to definitions and domain-specific guides that are not highlighted in the site navigation, but are still of interest and in need of review and updating. Users are encouraged to file issues, submit pull requests, and discuss on the forum. There is also a related website called “licenses.opendefinition.org” and its source repository, which may eventually be merged with the Open Definition repository.
