<!-- Many Thanks ... -->
<table width=100%><tr><td align=left><b>Many Thanks ...</b></td><td align=right><b></b></td></TR></TABLE>
<P>... to all these Free Software projects without which we would have had a
hard time to build our platform. This section is dedicated to all these
projects, and gives them due credit for their contribution.</P>


<!-- GNU/Linux -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>GNU/Linux</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>Our servers are mostly running under the GNU/Linux operating system. We
won't provide a link, there are too many Linux pages out there.</P>


<!-- FreeBSD -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>FreeBSD</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>You may wonder why use a <A HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</A>
operating system when you already run
GNU/Linux. Simply put, for security reasons. Not because GNU/Linux
distributions are specially insecure, but because of the precaution
principle: putting two different systems in a row to control an access
means that any failing of one might be caught by another.</P>


<!-- Apache -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>Apache</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>As a majority of the sites out there on the WWW, we use
<A HREF="http://www.apache.org/">Apache</A> to run
our web servers, both internally and externally.</P>


<!-- Perl -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>Perl</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>Some parts of the WWW sites run using <A HREF="http://www.cpan.org/">Perl</A>
scripts. Perl is a wildly
succesful scripting language, and typically runs as a module to Apache.</P>


<!-- PHP -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>PHP</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>Another scripting language used to generate our WWW pages,
<A HREF="http://www.php.net/">PHP</A> makes up
the majority of the pages you access on our site.</P>


<!-- Python -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>Python</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>The <A HREF="http://www.python.org/">Python</A> language is used in two
different places within Nevrax. As
a major component of Mailman (see below), it runs our publicly accessible
mailing list. It is also the glue to tie our platform together.</P>


<!-- Mailman -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>Mailman</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>The typical <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html">GNU
mailing list manager</A> (under a slightly different
presentation) also runs our mailing lists.</P>


<!-- Fenris/Bugzilla -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>Fenris/Bugzilla</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>The <A HREF="http://www.lokigames.com/development/fenris.php3">Fenris</A>
bug reporting system, itself a derivative of the
<A HREF="http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/">Bugzilla</A>
system, is used for internal and public bug tracking.</P>


<!-- CVS -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>CVS</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>CVS is one of the easiest to use software management tools available.
<A HREF="http://www.cvshome.org/">CVS</A>
is where all our sources are stored, and will also be used internally
to keep track of all our in-game static data as it is generated.</P>


<!-- Doxygen -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>Doxygen</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>We use the <A HREF="http://www.doxygen.org/">Doxygen</A>
documentation tool for our internal documentation. Some
of the files you may browse are hand-written, but most are generated directly
from the source code itself, making it very easy to make a reference manual
for the NeL.</P>


<!-- CVSWeb -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>CVSWeb</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>Another tool used to quickly access the source and see what's been done
and when,
<A HREF="http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~zeller/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/">cvsweb</A> is
used both internally and on the www.nevrax.org web site.</P>


<!-- FreeType -->
<TABLE  bgcolor="#dddddd" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0  BORDER=0 width=100%>
	<tr>
		<td width=1% valign=middle><img width=6 height=14 hspace=2 vspace=2 src="/inc/img/reddots.gif"></TD>
		<TD><B>FreeType</B></TD>
		<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> </td>
	</tr>
</table>

<P>We have selected <A HREF="http://www.freetype.org/">Freetype</A> as the
best font rendered available. Font rendering is something the 3D engine will
have to do for the user interface, and in-game information.</P>
