Memoir is port of Kunjika. The migration is because the database design is being changed completely. The reason of a new name is that if someone wants to work off Kunjika then this will not have any impact on their work. The new change will result in a lot less memory consumption from Couchbasse at least to start with as all of data is being put in one bucket.
Note that in code the app name is still kunjika just the module kunjika.py is renamed memoir.py. I have decided to keep the same name in code so that people willing to adapt code from Memoir to Kunjika should have little problem.
Please see Kunjika for a brand new implementation. Memoior is abandoned.
"It is software made up of bugs."
Update I have stopped developing it temporarily. I will update documentation soon so that if people want to develop then they should be able to do it easily. I may migrate code to wheezy.web or Falcon Python frameworks as they are much faster than Flask but that is to be seen. New features are also to be implemented. I will resume work as time permits.
It started as Stackoverflow clone but now I have implemented some features which are not there in Stackoverflow and at the same time many features are not there as well so calling Kunjika a clone is not appropriate. It has skills and endorsement features like linked in. I am also going to implement articles feature which can act as a knowledge base portion for a QA site. I am using Flask framework so obviously Python as well. Couchbase for database and Memcahced functionality.
This project has been started to scratch my own itch. OSQA's development has been stopped. I used LampCMS for sometime but found it buggy. Question2Answer is good and decent but is in PHP which I do not know so I decided to roll my own. Askbot could substitute OSQA but all these are turning commercial which is bad and ugly. Cannot trust how long they will develop open source version. DZone actually used open source community to test their product and then take away all of it.
I never learned SQL and the schema thing is a pain for me. So I chose Couchbase which provided nice replication, auto-sharding and memcached functionality apart from document based database. So one query for question, one for user and one for tag and it is done.
The documentation is out of date and I will update that soon.
Kunjika is quite stable now and a beta release has been done.
