I don't seem to have the ability to edit, and I forgot to reply to the first part of your comment.
I use Apache/mod_neko on the server, though after the high traffic last night we might switch to nginx/mod_tora. Either way, these basically server ".n" Neko Bytecode files, and provide caching between requests [1].
I stayed away from using a database / ORM for this website, instead using Github for all the content. When we update we pull a repo and it references flat files. The site then transforms the HTML or Markdown, pops it in a template, and serves it up.
I used a library called ufront for the MVC environment on the server. You can have a look at what a controller looks like here [2]. I'm hoping to do a tutorial, ufront was written by Franco Ponitcelli and Andreas Sudderland a few years back, but I've done a lot with it in the last year and hope to release / document soon. I did do a talk at last year's conference if you're interested [3].
I'll have to dig around and find out where the broken links are coming from. They were not part of the old site, nor the new site, but were in the private development repo for a while. Probably my fault they're still around.
