We decided to make all sources of the SPREE prototype described in the last blog publicly available under GNU AGPL. The project homepage providing the sources and documentation can be found here. The prototype was developed for and in collaboration with the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories using Python and Turbogears for rapid prototyping. The Server is powered by CherryPy and we decided on Genshi for dynamic templating and the powerful SQLAlchemy for ORM. SPREE is strongly AJAX, thanks to a combination of Dojo and MochiKit. As part of the code, we also release the SPREE iGoogle and Google Desktop widgets that inform SPREE users about incoming questions.

The sources allow you to create your own knowledge sharing community, including automatic question classification and expert finding, real time communication using web chat and rating functionality.

Try SPREE and let us know what you think of it.
