[p2p-research] Free Software Ning Replacement - Now!

[Michel Bauwens]

we have a year for this transfer, and could of course hasten the transition,

I propose that a few technicals, trash the alternatives out, present the
alternatives to the list, and then we decide,

after an experimental period of say 6 weeks, we can then transfer ..
