There's another project out there called `Mayan EDMS`_ that has a surprising
amount of technical overlap with Paperless. Also based on Django and using
a consumer model with Tesseract and Unpaper, Mayan EDMS is *much* more
featureful and comes with a slick UI as well, but still in Python 2. It may be
that Paperless consumes fewer resources, but to be honest, this is just a guess
as I haven't tested this myself. One thing's for certain though, *Paperless*

=====
Paperless isn't a very complicated app, but there are a few components, so some
basic documentation is in order. If you follow along in this document and still
have trouble, please open an `issue on GitHub`_ so I can fill in the gaps.
