[edit] History

Lyceum was first made public in February 2006. It originally began in mid-2005, and development is synchronous with WordPress.^[1] As of March 2009, Lyceum is based on an old version of WordPress and the developer is considering whether or not to resume development.^[2]

[edit] Differences from WordPress MU

WordPress MU, developed by the core WordPress team, is extremely similar in functionality to Lyceum. The primary difference is that Lyceum stores all of its information in a set number of database tables (it has a normalized schema). WordPress MU, on the other hand, adds new tables for each weblog added (it has a sharded schema).^[3]
