Hi Robert,
I started a similar discussion 1 1/2 years ago:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...on_of_Links_P315503/
I am still working with LinksSQL and probably will go on doing this for quite a while.
I like it for what it is capable of and for beeing written in Perl which in my experience has less changes that force you to rewrite parts of the code. But that is another construction area and my personal thought.
My lsql is a adress katalog say for all restaurants in a country with a lot of information, pictures, voting and more.
My lsql is a product-database connected to vbulletin, where people dicuss this products.
Probably all of the above could be done with plugins without changing anything or the core. There could be something to hook into how search Indexes are buildt if you add new tables related to Links or Categories e.g. if you want to add addresses or something like that to separate tables. I had this with properties I wanted to add to products. (e.g. color=White, width=10cm, ...) At the Moment this is done with Solr which works fine.
Anyway I am happy anytime I see a chance LinksSQL will get some new Input. The idea of crowdfundig is good. that could be done for core improvements as well as for Plugins. What bothers me is that there was not much interest the last time. Maybe in December 2015 there is more activity, would be happy to see something happen.
Cheers
