 ** Introduction
 
 This document describes the architecture of GN2. Because GN2 is

 ** Webserver
 
-The webserver is built on [[http://flask.pocoo.org/][Python flask]] and this GN2 source code can be
-found on [[https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2/tree/master/wqflask/wqflask][github]] in the wqflask directory. The routing tables are
-defined in [[https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2/blob/master/wqflask/wqflask/views.py][views.py]]. For example the main page is loaded from a
-template named [[https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2/blob/master/wqflask/wqflask/templates/index_page.htm][index_page.html]] in the [[https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2/tree/master/wqflask/wqflask/templates][templates]] directory. In the 
-template you can find get the form gets filled by a Javascript
