For developers that wish to assist Sahana, we have a number of different coding options to help out. You don't need to have all these skills, any of them will be of use. Even if you have none of these, jump into #sahana and we may be able to find some way for you to help out based upon your skillset.

• Python - all the core coding is undertaken in Python
• web2py - this is the application framework that we use in Python for SahanaPy
• OpenLayers - this is the client javascript library we use for mapping in the browser
• jQuery -
• XSLT/XPath - a lot of import/export functionality is created using XSLT templates written using XPath. For more info see XsltTemplates
