Booru notes...

I want to set up a booru, and I don't want to make something from scratch, but which one do I pick?!?
I wanted a booru, but I'm still not pleased with this one, even though it's great. I'm currently stumbling my way through PHP, trying to extract things from existing booru source code into their own extensions as i go. I've drawn heavy inspiration from https://rule34.paheal.net, mostly due to it having its own extension and theme (that work quite well).
Below is a list of boorus I've stumbled across (not every booru will be listed, as many are so close together in ancestry that they are effectively the same.

e621's source code is a heavily modified fork of the Danbooru code. It is a Ruby on Rails application. It has been made officially Open Source on March 5th 2020.

Gelbooru
Currently does not seem to be open source, and doesn't look too promising from this discussion on open sourcing it.
