Howdy, Elgg community. Long time no speak.
A while ago, I was talking with a colleague, who wanted to set up an Elgg site for her PTA. "Sure," I said, "just go to -- um ... uh ..."
Long story short: I'm not aware of an easy-to-use Elgg hosting service that requires no technical configuration from users, but allows for customization and both participates in and helps feed the Elgg community.
So, I'm exploring the idea of an unofficial, easy-to-use, non-technical hosting service that would make Elgg accessible to everyone. And I'd like to poll the Elgg community to see if you think it's a good idea or not. (I wouldn't want to do it if the community didn't think it was a good idea.)
If you have 3 minutes, I'd love it if you would be kind enough to let me know your thoughts:

If anyone feels that it was wrong for me to post this here, let me know and I'll remove it. Thanks!

You must log in to post replies.I can't think of a better place to post it :)
For what it's worth, seems like a good idea to me.
Awesome. Thanks, Matt!
was wondering why you appeared here 'out of the mists'?
now i see and knows; hope life's been treating u well-er;oO
I thought thats what elgg.com does, no?
Sounds to me like you go to this store, buy the service, hang wallpaper that they provide and you are given a log on to mypta.yourelgghost.com if no domain and mypta.com if you do. You don't code anything, it is all preconfigured per avaliable plugins (options) meaning you pay for hosting only. Is that how elgg.com is written?
Steve, exactly. elgg.com is a SaaS service.
@Steve Yes, exactly. In fact it has so many pro plugins that practically do anything.
Is elgg.com up to date with the latest version of Elgg?
@Ben Werdmuller
I think it is way ahead of the latest version.
