From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SnipSnap is a Bliki that integrates technology from wikis and weblogs into one software. SnipSnap is available under the terms and conditions of the GPL (GNU General Public Licence) and is very easy to install. Active development of this software ended on June 29, 2007 [1]
The development of SnipSnap was continued, in some forks, SnipIt appeared on July 9, 2007 [2], by Paulo Abrantes, as a possible continuation of software that already contained some extensions not present in the latest SnipSnap version. Later another fork, called SnipSnip, by Angelo Schneider, appeared and Paulo Abrantes proposed a fusion [3].
