Ben hasn't been overly involved in Elgg for a while now. People get interested in other things, pass the torch and move on. That's just the nature of things. Elgg itself is still going, and we'll have to see what idno has to offer when it's available.
@Pranjal Ben wrote about it already:
Hello!
I actually haven't written the Elgg Mistakes post yet. The latest from me is over on my website.
The current Elgg core team is doing a wonderful job. I chose to leave Curverider, Elgg's original parent company, in April 2009, and at the time this necessitated leaving the Elgg project. I have a huge amount of respect for what's been done since then.
However, I've still got the itch! Idno is an attempt to reconsider some of the design decisions with today's technology in mind (particulary NoSQL and mobile interfaces). I wrote a post about what Idno is over here.
I still code Elgg sites from time to time, and I'm up to date with the codebase. But I'm building Idno sites too.
If you're interested in Idno, add yourself to the mailing list! It's very low volume and will keep you in the loop.
I just leave it here ;)
If anyone's wondering more about Idno, here's a link over at the Knight News Challenge.
@Ben - For the record, I've always mentally pronounced Idno as "I dunno." ;-)
@Brett: +1. It's named for the question people used to ask me about Elgg.
"What does it stand for?"
"I dunno."
@Ben, how stupid the name Elgg may be. You dunno why it is called that way ! Even I do while boarding long after you left. You might consider renaming idno, while you can and learn from that mistake.
@Ben Read about Idno, it kinda looks like a project of our own (pseudo-elgg-fork?) that we're working on right now, which involves transforming elgg into a LMS.
I was actually waiting for months your 'elgg mistakes' post, and in fact I was pretty surprised with your work as CTO @ latakoo,
@All Idno in my view its mean ID Number or Identity Number i am not sure, what do I dunno mean?
