Are we still going to explore elgg further? I'm not into social networking, so 
I can't really assess its merits within this context.

I have now, although briefly ;) I like its philosophy and the implementation 
is mostly feature compatible with mediawiki. The deal-breaker for me is it 
doesn't support page hierarchies, which seems to be a combination of how its 
namespace (called groups) and link parsing works. WikiTrails doesn't do the 
job, although a neat idea we could use in mediawiki. Thanks for the heads-up.

I'd like to have a central place to work on ideas, but I'm not sure whether 
this list or the fsf groups website is better. Any thoughts?
