"dude... nice find. i am going to look at the RC on the JCONNECT"

Unfortunately there seems to be some problems with it.

I just tried it and could not log out of elgg's admin panel.

Also I couldn't figure out how to pull the joomla users into elgg.

It did pull the elgg users into joomla.

I guess we have wait to see what happens with Jfusion or hope that Jconnect can fix the problems.

Hi I'm the person who develop JConnect . And Now It's Renamed as JConnekt (http://jconnekt.co.cc). 
You can download it from here. (http://code.google.com/p/jconnekt/downloads/list)

and help for installation can be found here too (http://code.google.com/p/jconnekt/wiki/GettingStarted?tm=6). 

JFusion has been supporting Elgg for a couple of months now and is a great way of integrating Joomla and Elgg using the proven JFusion framework.

JFusion 2.0.0 is also around the corner that will allow for cross-domain login, works with joomla/elgg on different servers, full visual integration, profile sync and much more.

Thanks, Marius

JConnekt launched a new website.

JConnekt - Integration engine on Joomla http://jconnekt.org

Is this going to put Community Builder out of business?  :-)

At the moment it is only integration engine.  But all is possible...

Can anyone tell me the difference between JFusion and Jconnekt? Does anyone have experience with any or both of these?

Wordpress integration would be pretty neat to have too...

I think the emphasis, jimbob, unfortunately, is on Joomla and not Elgg.  This is why it is JConnekt and  not EConnekt.  ...So, Elgg users are aware of this only because of the bridge between Joomla and Elgg.  If they chose another social engine, we might not have heard about it yet.

However, there are other CMS' that are better than Joomla and it would be interesting if these could be connected with a bridge.  There are also open source ecommerce solutions, which would be interesting to bridge.
