About

Adhocracy is a web based software tool which facilitates cooperative policy drafting, proposal discussion and decisions in distributed groups.

It is primarily developed by the Liquid Democracy e.V. <http://liqd.de>_ as a platform to implement Liquid Democracy concepts, as well as to provide a simple and working general purpose online participation platform.

Technology

Adhocracy is mostly written in Python 2. It's built on top of many free software projects, such as the Pylons web framework, the Solr search platform, Memcached, Redis, many Python libraries and more.

Installing

Adhocracy is known to run on Linux systems, such as Debian Squeeze. It might run on FreeBSD or OS X, but this hasn't been tested recently.

Installation is usually done through buildout or through an installer script for Debian based systems. In either case, read INSTALLATION.rst <INSTALLATION.rst>_.
