Ajah is Online
Ajah, the startup I'm building with Mike, Nick, and Dan, is now online. Check it out: ajah.ca.
We spent a crazy evening proofreading and tuning the web-server to make sure that everything would be running smoothly for the launch. That was fun.
Only the static part of the site is public for now but the Fundtracker application is there in the same Paster instance and we have a group of analysts using it to copy edit our data and making sure that everything will be top-notch for the big launch.
Ajah Fundtracker is a TurboGears 2.1 application, our templating engine is Mako and even though we played with a few form generators, we ended preferring the raw Formencode encode approach. As long a you have a good text editor, it's really straight forward to code your forms by hand to we did just that.
In the back-end, we have a Postgres database and a Xapian full text search engine. The site runs inside a Paster instance behind mod_proxy, all running on a Linode VM.
We will open a limited beta in the coming week then soon after that, it's the big launch. I'm excited.

Congratulations!!! Looks very polished and shiny pretty. :)
Congratulation guys... The site looks very nive and professional...
Just a minor feedback.. the top menu looks weird on IE6 (like a centered vertical menu). On Firefox 4.0b6 it is fantastic.

Congratulations!
I wish you good luck.
Keep us updated!
Thanks a lot for the comments and feedback. Yes, there will be a launch party and I'm about to start a special batch of very exclusive beer for the occasion. Expect something strong, rich, and creamy.
For IE6, well, it's hard to make anything work on that browser and our preliminary market study suggests that IE 7 is the oldest incarnation of the beast that we need to support. Over the next few days, if IE 6 shoes up significantly in our access log, we'll do something about it. In the mean time, let's assume that Ajah is for organizations that do not suffer from inept sysadmins.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It’s the old what goes around comes around routine.
Ajah is a bootstrapped startup, built around open data and offering services to non profits. There are many bootstrapped ventures, even some working with open data but very few are targeting non-profits – even though it’s a sizeable market, around 7.6% of GDP in Canada. The partners readily admit that part of the bootstrapping move was based on the fact that this is not a big exit play – not the kind of thing VCs typically go for – so they had to make a go of it with their own funds.
Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.
Great ideas all put in one blog post. Need to bookmark this page for future reference
