that's an accurate characterization. SysCrusher hasn't had a chance to work on
the administrative screen for bulk link maint. work, but the module has been
good to go under 4.7 for months now. It has a robust API, very solid views
integration, and is easy to integrate with. The biggest problem is that 1) its
description has an outdated warning, and 2) it hasn't been officially branched.
That latter problem is definitely a big one, but I'd really suggest anyone
considering implementing a links management system consider links.module and
links.inc as their starting point.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=218230216-28072006>Obviously, some
would prefer a smaller focused all in one solution. :) No problem with that. But
the links package itself is definitely not in disrepair.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR>Links not being actively driven forward and actually completed has
made "competing" solutions appear. It's unfortunate, but it happens.

CCKs URL field plus Views lets people build flexible links directories.
