New codebase
The Postgenomic code is now available via subversion from Google Code.
This is an "alpha" release in that I'm still in the process of removing Postgenomic-specific features: some of the code is designed to work with data from hundreds of blogs and isn't really suited to smaller installations. The documentation is also rather poor.
The code has been completely refactored to make it easier to adapt to your own needs, though the overall architecture is still the same (there's a pipeline written in Perl which downloads feeds, processes them and writes to the database and an interface to that database written in PHP).
Collecting papers and links is optional: you can switch these features off and just use Postgenomic as a plain old blog aggregator.
Installation instructions are inside the repository - or you can read them here.
