TODO: Discussion of modularity, TW tasks, scaffolding, future evolution of the UI/UX. Point to What/is/not TW sections as they evolve.

TaxonWorks reduces the barrier to contributing code by using two widely-used frameworks throughout it, Rails, and Vue.js. Rails is the framework Django was modelled after, so those coming from coding Python web-apps will immediately feel at home in many ways.
