  1. In the article it says the software will be open source is that true? is it open source or you plan to do it?

    In any case it was a good project to learn from.

  2. That bit's not entirely clear - no, there are currently no plans to open source the software we wrote, though we do intend to make it reusable for ourselves for other projects. It was built entirely on open source though (MySQL, Linux/Fedora, Apache, mod_wsgi, Python, Django).
