Elgg and GNU Social
Hi All
Just a quick heads up that the folks at the Free Software Foundation / GNU have decided to create a distributed social networking project in PHP, officially backed by Richard Stallman and the FSF. Matt Lee (foocorp/FSF) will be the project lead, with hopefully some developers from various GNU projects contributing.
I raised the topic of starting out by using the elgg 1.7 codebase here:

Feel free to join the discussions, I'll update this thread with any more info that I find.
Feedback and Planning
Discussions about the past, present, and future of Elgg and this community site.
Working foaf would make a great improvement! The nightlies / 1.7 branch are good to patch against. I've finished the work I want to see for 1.7.1 and am waiting for some feedback from other people before releasing a beta. It shouldn't change much.
Re licensing: All bundled plugins are GPL2 only. The core that is downloadable is GPL2 with MIT available upon request.
I don't know offhand if you can go GPL2 -> AGPL.
