Elgg - a quick review

We were very excited when we learned about Elgg and quickly got a demo site up and running.

I think it's a bit early to have a very strong opinion about it but first impressions are that it's a bit light on features and perhaps there's some bias here as we're quite Drupal savvy but most of what it does can be done in Drupal pretty easily.

That's not to say that it can't improve and be a much more focused platform than Drupal but the current version (0.9) is quite basic in my very humble opinion.

We're yet to get under the skin and look and the nuts and bolts but we'll be keeping a close eye on it as it looks like there's much potential there.

We'll come back and do a full piece on Elgg once we've spent some time with it.
