[p2p-research] VERY urgent request for Ning

[Alex Rollin]

What about moving the blog to Drupal and adding a few social features?

I am not sure exactly what people like about Ning, but this would be an
important time to say something about it.

I understood that it was initially set up because it was easy.  Perhaps a
current admin could give us some usage statistics to tell us what features
are popular.

If Elgg is being recommended because it is replacing 'social features' that
we don't need or care about then why use it?
