Elgg has a hints&tips did you know that?

As I had had unexpected problems with making messages open or private, I was not surprised to find this message:
"Regular users of Elgg will have noticed that the default access restriction on blogs, files etc has changed from 'public' to 'private'.This is to protect those who may not know the system yet from accidentally making information public that they never meant to. If you want to make blogs posts, files, profile items etc public make sure you change the access restriction setting to 'public'."

What was surprising me? Well - I've been active here for quite a while, and I'd never seen this potentially very helpful blog before, it is called hints and tips! Don't you think we should all know about this...

  1. What Elgg lacks at the moment is a directory of users and communities. A certain amount of serendipity is needed to find these. I occassionally scroll through all the new posts quickly to see if I can spot a new potential 'friend' or community. This can be fun at times but is not an ideal strategy for busy people. I think a directory of some sort was on the wish list somewhere.

  2. "What Elgg lacks at the moment is a directory of users and communities" - this is coming in v0.4, we didn't want to have a community directory listing until we had community management in place.
