It is a Django python web application using:

• Slaw -- a Ruby Gem for generating Akoma Ntoso from PDFs and other documents
• django-rest-framework
• backbone.js
• stickit.js

To support importing from PDF and other file formats, you'll need some ruby dependencies. We strongly recommend installing and using RVM or a similar Ruby version manager.
