Technologies and Partners
The main website uses the Apache Webserver, the Apache Tomcat Application Server, and PHP. Our applications use Struts as an application framework and Ibatis for data access and caching. We use the MySQL database server to house our data.
Our current look-and-feel was designed by Carey Otto and Citizen.
The look-and-feel of our "Instant Karma" and "Tear It Down" websites were designed by HUGE.
Our Online Action Center, Online Giving, and Online Store are all hosted by Kintera.
A generous software donation from Lotus allows us to connect to our organizational Lotus Notes databases. A generous donation of Studio MX from Macromedia supports our creation of new content.
