There's a new listserv for librarians interested in Drupal: DRUPAL4LIB. You can join it via its archives page. I've just signed up, so I don't know how high traffic it is, but it's great to see there are enough people interested in using Drupal with library web sites to warrant such a list.

EduSpaces, which was a social networking site for educators and those who use education technology, is being taken offline. The site was notable for being a large scale implementation of Elgg, an open source social networking tool that's been slowly working its way through beta status.


One of the issues with EduSpaces, and apparently Elgg as well, has been a lack of funding for the project. I suspect this is because people -- both developers and users -- don't yet feel a strong need for a social networking alternative to the commercial products like MySpace and Facebook.
