It took me about one year to find some time to enhance my project BD-incollo. I worked hard for 5 days and to add new features and fight the (huge) amount of spam that was wasting my database space. Now I’m very proud to announce bd-incollo 0.9, a free, light, speedy, anonymous Pastebin clone written in Python Django. This version introduces a lot of new features, including the possibility to make diffs between pastes, and fights spam using Akismet. Read more about the features on the project page and on the new News section on the website that makes use of BD-incollo, incollo.com .
BD-incollo 0.9 is free software as always, under the Gnu Affero General Public License 3.
Currently, you can:
- Copy, Paste and store a text / source code snippet to the system
- NEW! Give other people the possibility to discover your Paste (make a Paste either public or private)
- Decide to colorize the syntax of the Paste
- Share it using its URL
- NEW! Enhance Pastes! Create a Paste starting from an old one
- NEW! View differences! Makes use of the powerful diff-match-patch by Neil Fraser to see differences between two Pastes
- NEW! Antispam protection using Akismet and akismet.py by Michael Foord
- Download it as plain text
- View it as plain text
- Search something interesting through other pastes!
- Report abuses to site admins
It also uses a very smart hash system that automatically re-computes a hash key in case of collision.
Here is an example of Paste: http://incollo.com/f341e6a4b
Here is an example of enhancement of the Paste: http://incollo.com/ba22929ac
Here is a full-screen diff of the Pastes: http://incollo.com/compare/f341e6a4b/ba22929ac
Play with them! Use incollo.com, spread it!
Road to 1.0
1.0 development will start after my next examination session (on September) and will surely include:
- Some asynchronous improvements
- The possibility to teach Akismet about Spam and Ham in Pastes (when admin user is logged in)
- More cleaner code
- The possibility to associate a user to its Pastes via a Cookie (always anonymous) and let him delete them
- Comments to snippets?
- What else? Contact me if you’ve got ideas!

Time for a screenshot! This is the page which handles new pastes:
BD-incollo: page for new pastes
There are some news:
- I implemented a hash function (hexadecimal number as output) to be used to access pastes, instead of using their ids
- I played with templates to have all the functionalities accessed in very small mouse movements
Next, the requirements regarding automatic cleanup of the pastes!

The general structure of the program is ready and works. I’m very happy with it, I’m currently playing with templates to have a very accessible, clean layout with few page scrolling needing. At the moment is is possible to:
- Paste a code
- Search a Paste
- View a colored Paste (code syntax)
- View a Paste without syntax highlighting
- Download a Paste as plain text
- View all pastes (although I will allow to see the last 20-30 pastes)

As I promised, I would like to announce the start of a new BD-thing! I’m currently learning Django because of job needing and because of fun. The best way to learn a new language (even if a framework) is to apply it for solving a problem.
That’s why I decided to start BD-incollo!
BD-incollo will be a kind of pastebin clone written in Django. Totally free. Free meant as free software. You may download the sourcecode and use it by your own.
Ok, what’s difficult with this? I’m planning to release a decent usable version in less than a week.
This means, I want to release the sourcecode on Sunday, 2008-09-28 and also to launch the service on Monday, 2008-09-29.
I believe in Django and I know it will be possible to make it!
