The system is highly devoted to reader participation, both in terms of commenting on articles and in producing them. A simple, yet flexible entitlement system lets you restrict posting to a trusted few or open it to all account holders in any Indymedia-like fashion.
Presentation is separated from control, which is separated from service logic, which is separated from the object model.
Persistence is based on JPA; dynamic components are handled using Wicket; overall page layout is performed with OpenSymphony's Sitemesh. Target database is PostgreSQL, but there's no reason it couldn't be adapted to target other databases, thanks to JPA.
