Is it possible to create an open source linklist script?

[Bill]

Just for the sake of argument, what would be needed to start an open source linklist software project?

phpadsnew is open source, I gather, and so is oasis. Would there be enough of a user base to make an open source linklist practical?

I'm thinking it should be possible to write something that could handle LLs, TGPs, and hubs, with built in security systems and all the features that LL owners are always looking for but have to wait for some individual developer to write.

Probably a pipe dream - hey, wait, thats what they said about open source like linux and mozilla, and mozillla bugs get fixed in hours instead of months...
