## About This Website
|
|
|
|
This website is built using **Changemaker Lite**, an open-source platform that makes it easy for organizations to create collaborative documentation sites. The entire site - including all content, configuration, and this contribution system - can be downloaded and rebuilt on any computer.
|
|
|
|
**Want to use this for your own organization?** You can clone the complete setup from our repository at [git.albertademocracytaskforce.org/admin/ab.dem.tf.changemaker.git](https://git.albertademocracytaskforce.org/admin/ab.dem.tf.changemaker.git). This includes everything needed to create a similar site for your cause, complete with documentation tools, email campaigns, and workflow automation.
