Is it possible to create an open source linklist script?

But I'm still interested in the possibilities of a good open source linklist script, with all the bells and whistles also.

So, since I'm inspired by the example of space ship one and the X Prize, I'll guarantee $200 paypal plus a nice plaque or something equivalent to the person or persons who can post for open download a version of an open source linklist that's equivalent to xpowerlinks in power and features.

I know that's a pittance for development work, but think of the glory! Your name will be on the lips of adult webmasters for years to come!

And if development starts I might be able to convince some other people to throw money into the prize pot.

Tempting... not sure I have the time currently though. And if I'd code it, it'd be a difficult decision to release it open-source...

From what I can see (in the screenshots at least), XPowerlinks's strength is its admin configuration panel that looks pretty swell (and would be long to code).

Entreri.

Note: I've tried a while back PHPLinks and I really didn't like it - I even had to modify the code from Sourceforge to get it running.
