Overview
AVEN is hosted on http://www.asexuality.org, and consists of a hodgepodge of open source software installed and occasionally modified by AVENguy. There is currently no formal Tech Team for AVEN, most of the work for maintaining the site falls on AVENguy and whatever tech-savvy members happen to be around on IM. Site content is managed by AVEN members on the Admod and Project Teams, and the site consists primarily of user-generated content.
Tech Spechs: AVEN is hosted by a company called [1] on a dedicated server. It runs on Mambo (for the front page), phpbb (for the forum), MediaWiki(for the wiki) and Flashchat (for the chat room.)

What We're Doing
The Front Page
The AVEN front page contains static content as well as displaying the Post of the Week in a column on the right.
- Ideas
- Can we get some more integration between the frontpage and the wiki?--AVENguy 05:07, 19 January 2007 (EST)
- A single sign-in form on the front page that the wiki and forums could use would be good.--live wire 23:41, 03 July 2008 (GMT)
The Wiki
The AVEN Wiki is maintained by the Wikimaster, Hallucigenia under the auspices of the Project Team. She encourages AVEN members to populate the wiki and keeps the information presentable and orderly.

Forums
Content on the forums is posted by the general membership and managed by the Admod Team. The phpBB software running our forums has been lightly modified to provide additional functionality.
The forums currently suffer from a high number of spam accounts, which the Admod team diligently cleans up. Several of the antispam measures available with our software are broken.

Tech Team
It would be hugely beneficial to put together a Tech Team to troubleshoot technical issues on AVEN and to implement software upgrades.
