I did see Elgg (through Lorea, linked off the wiki's ExampleProjects page) a few weeks ago, but wasn't too impressed, though I don't remember why. I'll try setting up Elgg/Lorea and Friendica on my box this weekend and open it to the list once I get it set up (still need to setup backups and SSL integration). Setting it up as by-invitation-only might defeat Elgg's spam problem. _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
