Documentation for reusing platform for other states

Related to #41

First off 👏❤️ for the map.opendatakerala.org, its such a fantastic resource for grassroots level data empowerment! The site is both simple and and the structure very scalable since it is powered completely by open APIs.

This is the kind of portal that needs to exists for all states and every language, and im curious what it takes to do that. After browsing through the code, it looks like the entire hierarchy of pages was built up from from the data.json, but im not so sure.

Can we put together some documentation that will allow folks across the country (or world!) recreate this site for their language/region? Is there any blocker for this platform to be used outside Kerala?

Happy to contribute in any way i can to help put together docs that will enable reuse of this codebase.

It's a CSV file with a python script that generates most files, including data.json
The rest is HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

@manojkmohan has to comment on how to proceed

Sorry that i missed this issue to comment.
Hope soon we will do it. there are lot of wishlist's/feature requests and other than all some set of data we need to work it out and properly fixed and maintain.

i think we need to do a online meet-up and discuss the future steps. currently its a very primitive attempt a lot of things to improve. lot of documentations also pendings..
