Advogato is based on the Apache module, mod_virgule. The mod_virgule source code currently being used to run the live Advogato is available as a tar.gz file. The latest mod_virgule development code is available from the mod_virgule Subversion repository (use at your own risk!). The changelog and a mod_virgule ToDo list are also available. The current code is a based on Raph Levien's original mod_virgule code and is licensed under the GNU GPL. You will need recent versions of glib, libxml2, and the Apache APR lib to build and install mod_virgule.
Mod_virgule is written in C. Patches and feature ideas are always welcome. The code is undergoing a lot of change right now, so it's best to coordinate with me before attempting any major changes.
The original mod_virgule code created by Raph Levien and used for the live Advogato site prior to 1 Oct 2006 is available from CVS hosted on casper.ghostscript.com.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
