 This project will require someone to spend time understanding how Geeklog Topics and the core plugin API works. You will also need to install a number of the more popular plugins that offer similar features to see how they work. As of version 1.8.0, Geeklog includes jQuery. jQuery could be used with this project for the menu system and/or the Topic Admin editor tree.
