=Static Modules (How Melange Is Organized In Source Control Directories)=

==The "app" Top-Level Directory==

The "app" top-level directory contains all source control-based resources that will go into the code package that will be uploaded to App Engine as part of Melange's release. It contains several third-party code directories, the "soc" directory that contains Melange's first-party production code, and the configuration files and outermost scripts that mediate App Engine's interaction with Melange's code.

==app/soc==

app/soc is the root of Melange's first-party (authored by Melange developers) code. It is divided into:
  * *cache*
    ** Melange's code that interacts with the App Engine memcache.
    ** Primarily used for XSRF tokens and determining which projects, organizations, and tasks are randomly featured on the home page.
  * *content*
    ** Melange's static content (mostly images).
  * *logic* (described below)
  * *mapreduce*
    ** Melange's code for making changes to all instances of a given type of data.
  * *middleware*
    ** Melange's code for interacting with Django's Middleware and Blobstore systems.
  * *models* (described below)
  * *modules* (described below)
  * *tasks*
    ** Melange's code for interacting with App Engine's tasks system.
    ** Email sending is handled by this code.
