Luci is the web admin framework that OpenWrt ships with and seems to be a popular choice among other projects. It is written in Lua, which is a sort of procedural language that's kind of a mix between javascript and ruby (??).
All of the Luci code is contained on the router in /usr/lib/lua/luci
Documentation related to the Luci project can be found at:
