iAgora's web services are largely built using Free Software (also known as Open Source Software). Our servers run Linux, Apache, mod_perl and MySQL. Our web backend modules are written in Perl, and our chat system is based on an IRC server.

In the process of creating iAgora, we've developped technology to build multi-lingual, templated, dynamic websites, maximizing maintainability, and minimizing duplication of HTML code.

We are now releasing this technology as Free Software, under the terms of the GNU General Public License:

• iAct - A multi-lingual web development and templating framework built on Apache and mod_perl.

• iA::CMS - A database-backed Content Management System for iAct.

We have also developped an accelerator daemon for Apache, which greatly improves its scalability in serving dynamic pages with preloaded scripts:

• lingerd - A daemon designed to accelerate Apache by taking over "lingering connections".
