#1 ok, but what's the donation amount? or how can I check? seeing if elgg is going to stay around

#2 sorry, clarification -- "what language was elgg programed in?"

10) if not, does that mean you can't use any other languages besides php? 

11) if yes, why does elgg lock you into using only php?

#3 some people don't want to use php; many other reasons

#7 asked around -- http://community.elgg.org/mod/groups/topicposts.php?topic=790521&group_guid=179063

8) Where did Elgg win the award from in 08?

"...willing to put in some work on your end... following helpful links.." --

.......yep! don't follow links and am an incrediably lazy person. Just like me. And to the rest of you, I'm so sorry for you having an existance :) here's another example of what is helpful -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2869338/where-to-start-to-learn-android

Hi, rm2dance. Many of these have already been answered so if I'm just repeating someone feel free to ignore that answer...

1) I don't believe the foundation has released that financial info, but Elgg isn't around because of donations. It's around because of volunteers and the community. No one is getting paid to work on Elgg (at least not by the Elgg Foundation).

2) PHP

3) Community Support, tried-and-true, security, not reinventing the wheel, etc.

4) Sounds like a bug: care to report it to http://trac.elgg.org?

5) Usually LAMP

6) Not sure what you're looking for here.

7) Ditto

8) InfoWorld

9) This is the best one. Also elgg-development on google groups.

10) You can do whatever you want, but if you want the full benefit of the years put into Elgg, then you'll have to use PHP.

11) It's written in PHP. If you don't want to use PHP, then Elgg is not the right framework for you. Every other framework has this problem, BTW. You have to use the language the framework was written in. This doesn't seem controversial to me. If you figure out a way to write a language agnostic framework, then props to you!

That said, if you start out with Elgg, then decide it is no longer working for you, you are always free to switch to another framework, since you are in full control of your website.

one golden apple out of the bunch. wish others were like that.

have a nice life~

There's a small icon that shows up. You can remove it if you want.
