Hi All,

 Thanks for all the response on the thread. I thought through all the 
suggestions/ideas from you.. checked out some repos.. looked at the code and 
finally have made my decision.
 Newebe (http://newebe.org/) comes closest to what I had in mind. I was able to 
successfully install and run after minor changes to the code. I have already 
forked it and started working on the changes. I would like to discuss the 
features and architecture I plan to implement with the group at the same time I 
dont want to spam this forum. Mail me at yogan...@gmx.com

 Regards,
 Yoganand

 Yoganand, Thanks for trying! Probably the documentation is not perfect and a 
bit outdated so your comments are most welcome. I had few friends who 
successfully installed it, so it should not be too difficult. By default it is 
configured to use Tokyo Cabinet DB. You'll have to install Tokyo Cabinet from 
source ( http://fallabs.com/tokyocabinet/ ) Also, there's a small overview of 
the ideas here: http://hanji.info/download/Hanji%20Public.pdf I think we'd 
better also switch off from the mailing list for really specific stuff, contact 
me at phil.ha...@hanjinet.org . > I am having couple of issues in installing
