 The BioGRID makes extensive use of existing tools and software for some aspects of our development. For maintaining tracking of our source code we make use of the **[[http://git-scm.com|GIT]]** version tracking system. For all of our documentation and help resources, we use the **[[http://www.dokuwiki.org|DokuWiki]]** system (including for this documentation you're reading right now). For many of the fancier graphical components of our websites, we make extensive use of the **[[http://jquery.com|jQuery]]** JavaScript library. For development, BioGRID software engineers use tools like **[[http://www.eclipse.org/|Eclipse]]**, **[[http://www.xemacs.org/|XEmacs]]**, and **[[http://www.vim.org/|VIM]]** for source code creation and maintenance.
 ===== Hardware and Backups =====
-All BioGRID websites and databases run on Dell and Mac based server hardware running out of Toronto and Princeton. All of our servers are currently running **[[http://centos.org/|CentOS Linux]]** as our core operating system, which is a free and open source operating platform. On each web server, we utilize the open source **[[http://httpd.apache.org/|Apache 2.0]]** web server and **[[http://tomcat.apache.org/|Apache Tomcat]]** web server to host and run our applications. All of our backups (nightly, weekly, and monthly) are performed via automated scripted procedures using Python and **[[http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/|RSync]]** and are archived to multiple locations including offsite tape based backups.

+All BioGRID websites and databases run on **[[https://www.linode.com/|Linode]]** high performance server hardware running out of Dallas, Texas, USA. All of our servers are currently running **[[http://centos.org/|CentOS Linux]]** and **[[http://www.ubuntu.com/|Ubuntu]]** as our core operating systems, both of which are free and open source operating system platforms. On each web server, we utilize the open source **[[http://httpd.apache.org/|Apache 2.0]]** web server, [[http://nginx.org/|Nginx]] web server, and the **[[http://tomcat.apache.org/|Apache Tomcat]]** web server to host and run our applications. All of our backups (nightly, weekly, and monthly) are performed via automated scripted procedures using Python and **[[http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/|RSync]]** and are archived to multiple locations including offsite tape based backups.
 ===== Bug Tracking and User-Base Interaction =====
-For Bug Tracking of programming errors and new feature requirements, the BioGRID uses the open source content management system **[[http://drupal.org|Drupal]]**. For communication from users, we maintain a shared email account with the free mail resource **[[http://mail.google.com|GMail]]**. We are currently working to expand these resources to include an open mailing list maintained by **[[http://groups.google.com|Google Groups]]**.
