Like pfaffben said, Scoop is popular.  I should have a Scoop engine set 
up on my personal machine after this weekend.  (Boss^2 thinks a 
modified Scoop could work as an information-sharing thingy for widely 
distributed employees.)

Hm.  From glancing at the Scoop administrator's guide, it looks like you 
can do this by setting up multiple instances that are accessed through 
different URLs ( server.org/blog1 , server.org/blog2 , or 
blog1.server.org , blog2.server.org ...) but each instance of Scoop 
would need its own set of tables in the database.

You're going to need a database as well.  Slashcode and Scoop use MySQL, 
though there's something about converting Scoop to use Postgres on the 
Scoop forums.
