Guys, Geeklog would conquer the world if you remember to make it as configurable as possible. Which points in the direction of increasing modularity and taking as much out of the core code as you can and putting it into modules or plugins.

Why don't you include the Calendar, Polls and Weblinks as pluggins in Geeklog 1.3. I think Geeklog should be only a solid weblog with all the add-ons as pluggins.

My intention as of mid-day today (approx) is to launch a website for my local community. Now, I read slashdot, I like slashdot and so the weblog format seems the way to go. I found a listing of many weblog systems rather than starting from scratch. Some seem quite good, some not so good. Geeklog is standing out as the nicest, but when we get down to it are there any specific arguments for choosing GeekLog over solutions like phpNuke, or phpWebsite

As an after thought: Is it the intention of the Geeklog team to offer a 'slash' type solution or are you aiming somewhere else? Personally I don't get the "moderator" scenario slashdot has, but is there an equivelant in GeekLog?
