The original Kernest.com font directory was built on Ruby-on-Rails, not a
direction that I'd do again. Lately, on both the personal and professional
side, I've been exploring MediaWiki as an application platform, combined w/ the
use of the SemanticMediaWiki extension - it provides a lot of capabilities
(versioning, reverting, account model/permissons, discussion, omature and
popular framework). Additionally, the interwiki links and ability to upload to
Commons.Wikimedia.org feel like a strong opportunity for the persistence of
OFLB content. The downside is that mediawikis theme-ing isn't as
straightforward as other CMSs.
As an example of this kind of wiki, over the past year, I've been working on
http://wiki.planetkubb.com
Of specific interest to the robustness that MediaWiki supports, check out a
Game.
