Donut: Official Website of ASCIT

Welcome to the donut-python wiki! This internal (not-so-internal) wiki is intended to document all the services of Donut, so future Devteam members can understand, develop, and maintain Donut. Our philosophy is to keep Donut maintainable and developable by future members. It's such a pain as it is now. The technologies used should be simple and universally known (*cough* not Perl) now and into the foreseeable future.

Donut elevator pitch: We provide applications and services on behalf of Caltech's undergraduate student body via online services.

The current Donut site (rewritten and released in 2020) can be found at donut.caltech.edu.
