The LocalWiki backend server is a Django-based mostly Python project that powers localwiki.org. You’ll probably want to get up to speed on our knowledge prerequisites if you’re not already.

Getting the code

You can get the code on GitHub. Check out our knowledge prerequisites page for info on learning how to use git.

Installing the code

Installation instructions can be found in the INSTALL text file.

Learning the code

For now, check out our code walkthrough screencast (Currently fairly out of date, but gives a reasonably good overview). Ask questions on IRC!

How to contribute

Code, test, code, test. Then send us a github pull request. Or send patch to [email protected] using git-format-patch.

You’ll probably want to make a wiki page here to flesh out big features and large code changes.
