[Lyceum-users] Apache required? It doesn't say so in your requirements...

Lyceum is built off wordpress not wpmu (although I'm sure John and others
will always pay attention to mu).  For more info, please see:

http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/faq

*Q:* *What is the difference between Lyceum and WordPress
MU<http://mu.wordpress.org/>
?*

The main difference between Lyceum and MU is the database schema. MU creates
a set of tables for each blog in a system. Lyceum uses a fixed number of
tables for the entire system. More info here <http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/23>.

In WordPress MU, every user must have a blog. In Lyceum, users and blogs are
completely unrelated entities. Each blog can have arbitrary users, each with
arbitrary permissions, and it is possible for a user to have no permissions
on no blogs (this makes sense because a blog administrator may choose to
only allow comments from users who are registered on the system).

In Lyceum, each blog can turn (pre-aproved, admin-installed) plugins on and
off as they like.

We've also made a smattering of security and performance improvements to
WordPress (some of which may or may not be applicable to the MU
architecture).
