    I am trying to guage the size of the development community and its activity level. My purpose is to find a multi-user blog that will be around in five years and still be going strong and has a has a strong community behind it. So on a scale of 1-5, 1 being something like PHPCollab (dead I hear), 5 being apache, and drupal being somewhere in-between, where does Lyceum fall?

    Also, just curious, any plans to fork completely from WordPress?

    Thanks,

    Troy Vitullo

    As a user, I'd personally give it a pretty mid-level rating, a 2-3. There just doesn't seem to be any development activity, and fairly low level user-based forum activity. This is unfortunate as I think Lyceum showed a great deal of promise when I selected it over a year ago.

    On the plus side, everything has been working well for the time I've had it running, and it's definitely a step up from Wordpress MU which I tried before Lyceum, both in terms of it's architecture, and in terms of the level of usefullness of the user community.

    Certainly no more than a '2'. You'll notice that there is no 'Developer/Development' category to these forums and traffic on the lyceum-dev mailing list http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/lyceum-dev/ is non-existent. I second DaveG's remorse at this as a multi-user blog system is hard to find and Lyceum's approach of building on to WordPress sure seems like it should be a workable idea.
