As Jacob mentioned, we have our own dedicated server and that is where all of
our web development GSoC projects will need to get set up (over the next couple
weeks, will be in touch individually). So we fully control the environment.
We can make just about anything work, but our biggest concerns will be how
complex a given solution is in the long-term, how it's maintained, how security
patches are addressed, who is responsible for it, etc. If a new technology is
going to be introduced (such as MongoDB), someone will just need to justify why
they're not using existing infrastructure and address the long-term maintenance
concerns. This is usually best as an interactive discussion over IRC.
Cheers!
