What is Ignition?
=================
= Ignition

In the simplest of terms, Ignition is a very basic crowd funding web application - a la Kickstarter. It allows users to create projects, for which others can vote on or pledge time to. It was written for managing internal projects at [BigCommerce](http://www.bigcommerce.com).

Why would I want to use it?
===========================
== Why would I want to use it?

Ignition is useful for companies or teams with 20% time, or another variant on the undirected employee time. Ignition allows employees to find projects that they are interested in helping come to fruition. Through an open source communication model it faciltates co-operation with out the need for central management.

How do I install it?
====================
== How do I install it?

Prerequisites
-------------
=== Prerequisites

To install Ignition you'll need the following tools;

* [Git](http://git-scm.com/)
* [Ruby 1.9.2+](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/)
* [Rails 3.2+](http://rubyonrails.org/)
* [Bundler](http://gembundler.com/)

Running locally
---------------
Ignition runs under the WebBrick server that comes as part of rails. If you are planning to use it for production, you'll want to use something like [Thin](http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/) instead.

```bash
git clone git@github.com:xenph/ignition.git
cd ignition
bundle install
rake db:migrate
rails server
```

Running on Heroku
-----------------

The [Heroku](http://heroku.com) documentation has a very good entry on [setting up a Rails 3 application](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3), but the basics are as follows;

```bash
git clone git@github.com:xenph/ignition.git
cd ignition
gem install heroku
heroku login
bundle install
heroku create --stack cedar
git push heroku master
```
