Couchdb has versioning and replication, with some framework for merges and conflict resolutions, which will come in handy to handle updates that can come both from users and from updates in source sites.

We wanted a platform easy to work with for as many people as possible, and so we picked the well-known python based Django framework.

As of right now, I have a simple working system that takes the MEPs part of the memopol 1 wiki-based tool, stores it as JSON in couchdb with minimal structure changes, and lets people see lists of MEPs (by name, country, ...), individual profiles of MEPs, and lets them add moderated comments on those profiles.
