OSSN is a complete copy of Elgg.
It's not a fork, not even a clone.
The dude just took Elgg and changed everything in the code from 'elgg' to 'ossn'.
I noticied the developers about this 5 years ago.
Therefore, it's not correct to compare them together.
Just you know about it.Elgg is a framework not CMS.
Take Elgg as it is and do whatever you want.For our SaaS, we've created several distributions that make it easier to launch your own app.
Of course, it's not free.
But you can see that with Elgg everything is possible!Thanks for the reply - I checked out your link to where you pointed out the copied code, and they seemed to say otherwise, but since I am not even close to being a coder I will just leave that as it is.
I have seen a lot is possible with Elgg, but without the coding ability of long moved on devs (plugins and etc that are 7+ years abandoned) I just have no idea what to do to bring about what I am trying to build. I know Elgg is not a CMS, that would be something like WP, Joomla and etc. Elgg is a great framework, but the most recent plugins with any updates are by one or two devs - the rest range from 3-7 years since anyone even touched them.
