[FM Discuss] php challenge...

hi,

So I have been working on a script ("booki publisher") to replace the
front end of FM.

So far its in php and runs very nicely. All flat file, a basic
templating system, no extra libs. Aco designed a plugin structure and
jan gerber made a widget structure. there are several plugins already
and one widget (comment widget).

the widget structure is nice and i think this is something that we can
really use to extend the current fm manuals...andy had been talking for
a long time about having quiźzes in manuals for example...this would be
simple now to make in php using the widget structure

I can currently use the scripts to get manuals from booki, store them
locally, and display in the right template. The script also displays the
front page of fm and shows the caegorised lists of manuals that are
stored locally. 

thats most of the work done...now......i need some help again...there
are two things i would like to make before the script can replace twiki
and hence they are blockers for our move to booki...

1. the remix plugin needs to be made (mirroring the current fm remix
functions but maybe using jquery insead of mochikit)
2. a blog plugin needs to be made...(simple blog plugin)

any php gurus out there willing to bite either of these off?
