About Elgg
Elgg is a PHP based framework that lets you build your own social network or community site. It gives you the tools to create profiles, activity streams, groups, and messaging without starting from scratch. You get full control over the design and features since it runs on your own server.
It supports plugins for extending functionality and themes for customizing the look. Elgg integrates with MySQL and runs on standard LAMP stacks. The project was originally developed at the University of Bristol and has been actively maintained by a community of contributors since 2004.
This tool is best for educators, nonprofits, or organizations that want a private social network. It is free and open source under the GPLv2 license. Elgg powers thousands of communities worldwide, from classroom networks to corporate intranets.
