Lyceum
The Lyceum project being developed by ibiblio, was originally conceived in a very different form 3 years ago as a
community-blogosphere-insta-generator. Several staff and identity rotations later, we set forth in the middle of 2005 to make a
powerful and easy to use multi-blog WordPress derivative that could be used for installations with 2 or 200,000 blogs. Users will find
the familiar WordPress features and interface that they know and love, and administrators will have the architecture and tools that they need to manage their blog service. Lyceum was recently awarded a grant from The Frances C. and William P. Smallwood Foundation.
