Submission + - Russian Federation selects open source PHP (gosuslugi.ru)

This website is being updated directly from more than 60 ministries. It will work for one year in the testing mode, but it provides even now the real forms, for example, to get a civil passport, travel passport, etc.
We were talking a lot about Russian government's plans to use Open Source OSs on desktops, but it seems it became a reality first in a server-client environment.
It is not clear to me what database is being used. But if it is MySQL this thing may work after all.
