Quotes database engines

One of the things I learned at Open Source Bridge was that the idea of having a private quotes database was a novel idea to many projects. Some people asked after the source for the one which Dreamwidth is using. [personal profile] sophie hasn't (yet?) put that up, but there are various open quotes database projects out there (note that I have not used any of these myself):

Open Source Quotes DataBase: http://sourceforge.net/projects/osqdb/ (et al)
miniqdb: https://code.google.com/p/miniqdb/ (uses .htaccess for authentication)
rash-qdb-fork: https://github.com/paxed/rash-qdb-fork (this seems to be the actively developed fork)
t3quotes: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/t3quotes
QuoteBoat QDB: http://www.ohloh.net/p/quoteboatqdb
Chirpy!: http://chirpy.sourceforge.net/

If you're looking to get your project set up with a quotes database, check some of those out and see if they have what your project needs.
