    Hi,

    I know this is in Python, but it might be of use to you guys: The software
    used by the Reddit community news voting site (kind of like Digg) has now
    been open-sourced. Here's the article from VentureBeat:

    http://venturebeat.com/2008/06/18/digg-this-reddit-goes-open-source/




    In the arena of crowd voting sites there is Digg and then there is
    everyone else. Every once in a while a challenger will come up that looks
    promising, but it fades away.

    For a while that was Netscape (now called Propeller), then it was Mixx,
    but now one of the original (and best) challengers is coming back with a
    vengence. Reddit.

    Today the service is announcing that it is going open-source. This means
    that any developer will have access to the sites' code and will be able to
    help improve upon it.

    The code for the site can be found here: http://code.reddit.com.
