Abandoning Elgg for the following reasons:
1. It’s very clunky.
2. It took me an hour to figure out how to do something that should be trivial.
3. Every time I go looking to find out why something’s broken, I find more bugs.

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008It still is sluggish, but see http://elgg.org/mod/vanillaforum/vanilla/comments.php?D
I’ve disabled the explodeping module, we’ll see if this goes any faster now.
mod_auth_cas docs

Monday, January 14th, 2008This’ll need (a) configuring, and (b) integrating with Elgg. At the moment, it’s simply available to apache instances.
Righto, this thing’ll now send email

“You’ve forgotten your password” etc. stuff looks like it works.
I’ve opened up the top-level apache instance a bit to let users on the 12 subnet see this (although I’ve not advertised it at all).
It seems to me to be very sluggish. I’ve not turned on any PHP speedups; looks like they’ll be necessary, however.
