Ask HN: Is there a Hacker News back end open source alternative?

Hi, I've seen a lot of front-end page replacements for hacker news, but are there any back-end open-source clones of hacker news?

The current version of Arc Lisp (which includes the forum) can be found at http://arclanguage.org/

And the public, open source fork of Arc and the forum are at https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki

Bear in mind nothing publicly available is at feature parity with Hacker News because HN is essentially closed source for various (mostly YC business) reasons.
