Decide tech stack for v1.0 #2

My initial thoughts are with Python Django. AngularJs seems a bit of overkill at this stage when the features required are simple.

My list: Front-end: Django templates (with Jinja templating language) Backend: Python Django Database: SQLite (to begin with)

Other reason for going with Python is that it is widely accepted language for community projects and fairly easy to pick up for new contributors.

Agreed! It will help us get started quickly. We can worry about the front-end later and figure that out using some restful API.

We can even possibly develop modules for parsing XML statutes separately as well, since Python makes that super easy!

Django provides out of the box support for building REST API for its apps so it should be easy.

Yes, let us think where XML parsing fits in. Ideally, a Django app should be created for that and the parsing modules can be part of this app.
