[geeklog-users] Is geeklog what I'm looking for?

[Chris 'Chipper' Chiapusio]

that sounds like http://www.everything2.com/ which is run by the 
VALinux/slashdot/freshmeat crowd.  You can get source here: 
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=E2%20FAQ%3A%20Source%20Code

or just contribute to thier database.
