[geeklog-devel] Google Summer of Code 2009: Geeklog

Tue Mar 10 18:03:14 EDT 2009

Tnx, Ben...

Dirk... Yes I found your e-mail in my gmail spam folder...
Now I see that banners can be implemented in Geeklog with OpenX. OpenX is
great app but it's integration can be complicated for new users or for users
without "programming background" so custom banner manager still can be
usefull..

I will to detail analysis on this subject,  and will decide after that is
this good enought for my project proposal...

My second idea is to add ajax features in admin panel, but honestly I wasn't
thinking about implementation enought...
