What is Danga?

Danga Interactive was Brad Fitzpatrick's company that developed LiveJournal and by necessity the backend software to drive it all. Since Danga's acqusition by Six Apart, the meaning of "Danga" is somewhat undefined. It mostly represents this website and this software. A lot of the contributors to this software, both old and new, work for SixApart, but just as many are from the larger community.... people like you.
