Tom Hoffman reports on an interesting project from Warwick University. They've created what looks like a blog tool that supports many many users and weblogs.
I've tried to use some existing systems (Movable Type, mostly) to create similar installations (on a smaller scale). Because most blogging tools aren't created with this type of usage in mind, they really don't work well. What I'd like to see is bascially a TypePad in a box--or, even better, an open source TypePad-like tool. Maybe the Warwick tool will become that...
Update: Andrew Hallam wrote to tell me about Roller, the system Sun uses to power http://blogs.sun.com/. Looks like an interesting system. Any other good ones out there?
