Summary:  Post-It: What is the difference between Backend and Frontend?

Original Submission:  Savane is composed of a database, a web frontend and a 
system backend.

The web frontend is the user interface, run by a webserver with PHP. All users 
modifications in the database are made via this frontend. It permits them to 
submit items (bugs, task...), modify items, change their preferences, etc.

The system backend is mainly used by cronjob, or by site administrators via a 
shell. It is written in Perl, composed of Perl Scripts and Perl Modules. It's 
purpose is to synchronize the system(s) and the database. For instance if you 
provide to projects a download area, the backend will, on the system that host 
this area: create a unix group ; create unix users account associated with the 
group for any member of the group ; create a directory for each group at the 
configured location ; associate these area to the appropriate group.
