The backend of the NDP site is definitely not written in Javascript ;-)

It's running on Linux / Apache 1.3.4.  The bulk of the site is a
custom-developped PHP app, though they used to run an open-source
package named ActionApps (.org) as provided by Web Networks.

There is a serious interest in the party about the ideals of Open
Source, and one of my projects in the new year is going to be getting
an Open Source Caucus started in the party in the same way as there is
currently a Socialist Caucus and a Women's Caucus.

Anyone who's interested please feel free to email me :-)
