The map is powered by Leaflet.js and Mapbox's tiles API. Mapbox's free tier is limited to 50,000 page loads per month, which should be fine given the community map is placed on a 3rd-level page (Home > Community > User Groups).

User groups are now stored in a PHP array located in the front matter. This makes the godotengine/community-map repository obsolete. While not as ubiquitous as JSON, the PHP array format is more commonly known compared to the custom format we were using before. (We could still move the list of communities to a JSON file if needed.)

When adding a new country, make sure to add its GPS coordinates to the countryCoordinates JavaScript object in user-groups.htm. This is required to place the online community marker correctly.

TODO

• Set up a Mapbox account shared among core Godot developers and replace the personal API key. Make sure to restrict the URL to allow only godotengine.org URLs.
