I've been real interested in Crabgrass, Elgg, and BuddyPress. A challenge, as noted by others here on this list and elsewhere, will be seeing if such software can be used to build federated services. Possibly fun project for those more savvy than me: implement two copies of Crabgrass (or Elgg, or BuddyPress) in two separate directories and hack the installations so that they can communicate with each other (e.g., allow a user of Service X to add a user of Service Y as a friend). Extra credit: implement each of Crabgrass, Elgg, and BuddyPress, and hack the installations so that they can all communicate with each other. Who knows, maybe this software is not well suited for what we really want (federated services); I'd like to know.
