Yes, that's me.

Trying desperately not to fork WP, but build within the plugin API.

(It's been renamed "Scriblio" since then.)



Two small examples:

http://tamworthlibrary.org/

(I'm ashamed of the ugly theme on the second one, and bugs you'll  
find hidden in both *hangs head*)

I've just implemented searching against Sphinx, which is about 100  
times faster than mysql's fulltext index for the 200,000 records in  
the dataset I'm working with in development, but everything else uses  
mysql and tagging from my bsuite plugin and I'm hoping to build  
against the 2.3 tagging features as soon as they're stable-ish  
(subjects, etc, are just tags).
