PHP is wells suited for software that you want the users to install on "their" server without requiring any server configuration skills.

Two simple projects I'm needing:

- A Tumblr like app where I can post / tag / search the link s I stumbled upon in my daily browsing (with screenshots?). - A secure but simple commenting engine that I can attach to any of my pages (spam / attacks detection; confirm / delete from links in mails).

Of course I need them as free software. And I'm probably going to work on them soon.

1. Check out clippy.in (http://clippy.in/)

2. Why not Disqus?

As said above, PHP is good when you want something on your own webserver and you don't want your system administrator skills to be challenged.

In both cases, I want the software to run on my own server.
