What's the backend to addons.mozilla.org?

[killin...@gmail.com]

Hi

I working with company that wants to build a kind of review site. I
quite like the system that the addons.mozilla.org has, where reviews
rate the addon and people can also say whether the review was useful.
(Much like what amazon.com and many other sites have in place.)

I wanted to know if addons.mozilla.org was based on some OpenSource
project or if the code for it is available somewhere? I can't seem to
find any links or credits on the site itself.

thanks!

The code is homegrown and open source. You can view it at the following
URL:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/webtools/addons/

and download it from our public CVS server, instructions here:

Thanks a bunch!

I did look at LXR, but I guess I must have missed the webtools folder.
