Snooping at SnipSnap

Ever since Stephan Schmidt and Matthias Jugel discontinued development of the SnipSnap wiki and blog platform (which runs several Cassiel sites), speculation has been rife as to the package's future. Luckily, since it's open-source, we're not locked into a dead product. Paulo Abrantes has an active fork of the source code and has been working on enhancements to the system, and there's a SourceForge project headed by Angelo Schneider.

We have the Abrantes version running here under laboratory conditions; in particular, we've managed to wean it off the Jetty packaging, and it seems happy talking to MySQL under Tomcat 6. We hope to go live with it soon, and also develop some plugins for hosting audio and video clips. (The main reason for deploying a Tomcat-hosted SnipSnap, rather than staying standalone, is that we are also working on a Cocoon-based project; more later.)

I suppose we could have just jumped ship to WordPress, but where's the fun in that?
