[geeklog-devel] [OT] Plugin help --- Package Extractor

[Damien Hodgkin]

Tony, I was wondering if we could code a small install script for Gl2 to help 
get it setup. similar to the one that Gl1 uses. This wouldn't have to be 
anything major, just something to automate creating the db, and then run 
index.php if it was successful, or run a fail.php to say it failed.
