What technology does Socialtext Open use?
To generate the markup, we primarily use Template Toolkit. Certain legacy screens (login and register) are written in Mason, and occasionally we’ll generate raw HTML in the code and push it out. I’m not quite sure what other details you’re looking for. We use Perl as the application code, bound to the web server (Apache 1) via mod_perl. We use Apache 2 to front the entire operation using mod_rewrite, and we store information about the various workspaces and users inside Postgres tables. We interoperate with a variety of command line tools to index attachments. And we provide a REST API over our application that allows for an even wider audience of developers to create new applications.
