Is it possible to create an open source linklist script?

I have never seen phpLinks but my suggestion would be to use a seperate product entirely and start from scratch. I think making it use entirely opensource products like Smarty & Pear would be the way to go. Provides the flexibility of modules that come with PHP and a template system (Smarty) that is so phenomenal its unbelievable and gives the end user the ability to customize their pages however they see fit. I am using it on my link list software and because I am in such a hurry to get it working on my sites it still lacks a bunch of features but I think the base is fantastic, and although we may not use it because it was rushed the principle behind it is a good start I think. As I said I would be more than willing if other programmers had time to help out on this project, but I don't have a ton of time unfortunately.
