New Sugar Team Project on Launchpad...

[Caroline Meeks]

Hi Jeff,

This is a great idea.  Have you looked at ELGG as a base for this? Its an
open source project out of the UK that is gaining a lot of traction.  Its a
PHP system that creates a facebook like site with blogging and file sharing,
friends and groups. Its modular and have good permissions handling on files,
shouldn't be too hard to create a "Turte Art Module".

Solution Grove created and contributed back a single sign on integration for
Moodle. So if you use ELGG as your base it should be possible for
deployments who are using the XS with Moodle to add your system to their
setup if they want to create their own system do to bandwidth or privacy
issues.

If you do decide to use ELGG let me know and I'll introduce your programmers
to our ELGG programmer and he can mentor a bit.
