We are just now picking ours:

Apache or IIS webserver

Javascript includes Server Side Includes or SSI for templating system - write once, use everywhere

doT.js is a possible contender at http://olado.github.io/doT/

Etherpad server for content creation ( think Wiki or shared Google Docs where those invited can write, update and edit documents for later placement ).

Javascript JQuery library ( demos here http://jquerydemo.com )

Javascript html5shiv - Makes previous IE9 browsers know some HTML5 https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv

Bootstrap framework - http://getbootstrap.com

Brackets.io by Adobe or text editor of your choice - http://brackets.io

BBEdit - text editor ( commercial product ) - http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/

Photoshop - images ( commercial product ) -

databases - ?

Nodejs - Node is a javascript framework https://www.npmjs.com and http://nodejs.org/download/

Any tips welcome.

First time I've seen someone recommend Brackets. I've been using it since some of the early sprint versions and really like it.

The Extract and split screen updates have been fantastic.
