How is Shelfworthy built?

Shelfworthy is built using Django which is a web framework running on top of python. We host our site on a wonderful joyent accelerator and pages are served to you using wsgi on top of apache. mysql keeps track of all your data while memcached tries to keep things you access a lot easy to access. All the javascript is helped along with mootools.

The site is built by Chris Drackett using textmate, cssedit and photoshop with tons of programming help from Liza Daly and tons of graphic/illustrative help from Jeremy Canceko.
