We’re shopping for a Virtual Private Server. Hopefully, at least 256Mb RAM guaranteed, Linux based, with cPanel, hosted in the UK with fantastic support - all for under £25 a month? Here are the contenders so far:

Elgg connects learners
November 6, 2007 – 9:27 pm
“Elgg is an open-source social networking platform. It offers blogging, networking, community, collecting of news using feeds aggregation and file sharing features. Everything can be shared among users with access controls and everything can be catalouged by tags as well.” http://elgg.org
Elgg connects learners together by providing web space for files, profiles of learners, tagging to connect resources, blogging and forums for collaboration. It is used effectively by Brighton and Leeds Universities. It is open source (meaning that we can freely use and customise the code) but does require a slightly more adavnced web server to run - this is where the costs of spproximately £250 are neede to host the website. It is a social network for learning.

What I learnt today: 2 things!
September 4, 2007 – 8:28 pm
Many thanks to my colleague Graham. My paraphrase as best as I can remember it.
- I do not know the best way to do things.
- Working together, we can find a better way to do things.
Wonderfully simple and great to be reminded of. I especially like the web 2.0 social networking idea of working collaboratively. If you haven’t you might want to consider the ideas around the wisdom of crowds.
