I have the "ultimate" tagging lib to finish first.

Given that codeigniter doesn’t have a forum module, I think it might be fun to consider teaming up with some folk and building a basic forum. Nothing fancy, no auth/acl, just a basic forum.

Yes, the admin area is what scares me. I mean, how many controls do you want to give mods/admins? That is what takes time. You could just do a simple delete/edit page for posts/topics or you could go nuts with features.

The auth could be knocked off by Redux in a snap as it plugs into any type of system. I built the world's only(?) Curl Akismet class so that would help keep spam down low. Then you just need a "posts" and "forums" db table and the validation class can take it from there.

Also, if we use plugins (like my hooks upgrade) then people could add to the system whatever they want.

Like the WYSIWYG editors could be enabled with a call to
$this->hook->call('textarea');
