[geeklog-devel] New links system

[Tony Bibbs]

Similies aren't a favorite thing of mine even though I do them all the 
time in IRC ;-).  I'd say for now let's just get the core stuff working 
first.

Why not paste the DB schema here.

Also, were you intending this as a plugin or a replacement for what we 
have? I'd prefer as a plugin (more modular).  However, regarldless of how 
you do it, you have a huge task in converting the *old* link data to the 
*new* link tables.

As for comments, if you do the Plugin API, you don't have to worry about 
comments working, GL will take care of that for you. 

Dirk, what is your thought on replacing what we have versus making this a 
plugin?
