An open source social bookmarking competitor to del.icio.us

http://de.lirio.us/code/
Is the source of the code and below i the story to go with it:


The full Slash Scoop:

[0]comforteagle writes "This past week I launched an open source social
bookmarking competitor to [1]del.icio.us - [2]de.lirio.us. After running
it for a while open to the public it appears to be running relatively bug
free so this is the invitation to the Slashdot crowd. The [3]code is
entirely open and the content is cc licensed, so I'm sure it won't take
too long for folks to cook up some additional tools aside from the
blogging feature. For those not familiar the meme is [4]social
bookmarking, which is basically a service to share bookmarks publicly
instead (or in addition to) only within your browser. There are lots of
other additional benefits, but that's the gist of it. [5]More details
here [6]and here."

This would make for an exelent XOOPS wrapper/convert candidate and would allow XOOPS social sites to get close to the cutting edge.

I doubt I have the skill to do this on my own and so I open the floor to the rest of you guys.

Probably a better term than "this has to be done!" would be "would any developers consider doing somethng like this". You have a need, and your best chance of getting this done (without paying for the development work) is to find a developer with similar needs.

That was a little confusing. I tink I get it now although I first thought there was a language barrier. But no, english.

I suppose there could be a need for a super charged links module. I would start with one of those projects or get to work on modularizing the mentioned code. gotta be done seems a bit strong though.

Only thing that worries me is if everyone is linking external sources there comes a time when it becomes a big circle of links with less and less actual content. The poster's own site was filled with external content and endless cookie requests and whatnot.

no offence though.

(no offence taken)

I guess I should have said: "We Really Should Have This - It's Cool!"

I guess it might just be a regional thing but I've grown up in an area of the UK where we say "...has to be done" or "you know you have too" etc etc where we mean such or such is such a cool thing how can we not.

(as to my own site, yes it's just a mass of experimentalism really)

I did not mean to cause any offence or be rude (I may have appeared that way) but I found the idea genuinely exciting and felt that this really "had" to be a XOOPS module (as it is a cool idea). I simply wanted to share an exciting find with others that (I hoped) would find it exciting too.

I love the idea that XOOPS might be first with cutting edge new modules.

Does that make more sense?

social bookmark (Not only del.icio.us) is a plug-in addon (not a standalone module) in our ongoing project.
Also, there is a XOOPSbookmark module in proposal.
