About Sigrie

The team

Jerome Leclanche (Adys) is the main developer and designer, responsible for the birth of the database and many of its tools.
Belhorma Bendebiche (Amro) is in charge of much of the Javascript, and takes over with the backend whenever necessary. He is a skilled Python/Django developer and helped with early scripts. He is also responsible for the Sigrie table engine and the tooltips.
Dinnerbone helped with the rest of the Javascript work, including the menu engine and the filter engine.

You can contact the team and the whole MMO-Champion community on IRC, #mmo-champion on QuakeNet. You will need an IRC client, such as X-Chat.

The database and hundreds of tools behind it are all coded in the powerful Python language. It is run under Nginx, through mod_wsgi.
The Django Framework is behind the web interface of the database. Optimized to smoothly run on top of World of Warcraft data, many of Sigrie's patches have been sent upstream.
Varnish and memcached together take care of high and low level caching.
PostgreSQL is the rock-solid, blazing-fast database engine that powers Sigrie.
StormLib, written by Zezula, powers a lot of tools dealing with MPQ parsing automation.
Git is the Version Control System used internally. It's blazing fast!
For BLP processing, PIL is used with a specially written BLP plugin.
