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* Perl) now and into the forseeable future.

The current Donut legacy site can be found at donut.caltech.edu. We also have been working on the Donut rewrite site.
