Updates: Started to get more acquainted with Django by building a couple of
small applications, I will move on to build some quick prototypes and study
Suryajith's repository in detail.

You are right, but I feel this period is a good time to decide and stick to
the tools we want to use.

the parser and other modules that are to be reused are written in Python,
so we would be needing Python support for deployment servers anyways. So,
it makes sense to stick to a Python framework.

I had a relook at Mediawiki, but I still feel developing with Mediawiki
would be harder simply because it wasn't designed to build full stack web
applications. Mediawiki is probably best suited for delivering content and
static HTML. This should probably be treated as a separate web project much
like the online geometry viewer, where also leveraging the Mediawiki
infrastructure is constraining.

Apologies, the gmail client repeated content at the end, so I overlooked
it. Will try to stick to the etiquette more often than not.

The Mediawiki MVC framework is still raw, there is not much documentation
on it and it's not under active development. The comparison article was a
good read. I went through the HACKING guide, but there's not much to grasp
there as it's focused towards C/C++ development and bit of Perl and Tcl. I
am however trying to follow official PEP style guide[1] and the Zen of
Python[2] which is a bit more generic.
