'''Lyceum''' was an [[open-source]] [[blog]]ging platform based on [[WordPress]]. It was developed by [[ibiblio]], but development ceased in 2010.

==History==
Lyceum was first made public in February 2006. It originally began in mid-2005, and development is synchronous with WordPress.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/2006/02/28/lyceum-blog/ |title=Lyceum Blog |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090307194940/http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/2006/02/28/lyceum-blog/ |archive-date=2009-03-07}}</ref> As of March 2009, Lyceum was based on an old version of WordPress and was inactive while the developer considered whether or not to resume development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/2009/03/10/the-future-of-lyceum/ |title=The Future of Lyceum |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090330061154/http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/2009/03/10/the-future-of-lyceum/ |archive-date=2009-03-30}}</ref> In May 2010, its maintainer John Bachir announced that the project was discontinued.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lyceum.ibiblio.org:80/2010/05/12/the-lyceum-project-is-shutting-down/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100921012323/http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/2010/05/12/the-lyceum-project-is-shutting-down/|archive-date=September 21, 2010|title=The Lyceum project is shutting down|date=May 12, 2010|deadurl=yes|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

==Differences from WordPress MU==
[[WordPress#Multi-blogging|WordPress MU]], developed by the core WordPress team, is extremely similar in functionality to Lyceum. The primary difference is that Lyceum stores all of its information in a set number of [[database]] tables (it has a [[database normalization|normalized schema]]). WordPress MU, on the other hand, adds new tables for each weblog added (it has a [[shard (database architecture)|shard]]ed schema).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/faq |title=Lyceum FAQ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060308054102/http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/faq |archive-date=2006-03-08}}</ref>
