Introduction to Server Modding, Scoreboard

[redwallhp]

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good introduction to creating server mods. In particular, I would like to do something similar to the Ogros.org scoreboard.

Edit: I should add that I have a lot of experience working with PHP and JavaScript, and I can hack things together in pretty much any language, if I study the syntax a bit.

Edit #2: Never mind. I discovered Hopmod. A lot of servers I play on seem to be running it, and you can extend it with Lua. I've been meaning to try learning Lua anyway...
