!Crabgrass is !OpenSource software for "social networking, group collaboration and network organizing". Seems quite ready for use.

@chriswaterguy and it has a lot of pretty good features, if you have any doubt, please write at https://we.riseup.net/tzk

@tzk Thanks. Is !Crabgrass good for forum & blog use? Have tried !BuddyPress, but it feels too "social" rather than action-oriented.
-
@chriswaterguy lastest #CG introduces blogs. But isn't the we !riseupnet deployment, try http://crabgrassdemo.riseup.net/ instead
-
@chriswaterguy @tzk I'd never heard of Crabgrass - looks interesting, thanks! bookmarked http://crabgrass.riseup.net/
-
@marjoleink maybe you'd like try we.riseup.net too, it has a wider user base, and it's more stable, take a look at labs.riseup.net too ;)
-
@marjoleink I'd heard of it, but I'm appreciating it for the first time. Crabgrass does a lot of things we need.
-
@tzk Demo feels a bit buggy - http://crabgrassdemo.riseup.net/search/text/blog clicked blog title, got error. But blogs not essential for us
-
@chriswaterguy oh, just i haven't tried before. I discovered socialnetworks through !cg, so, i think my POV is somewhat tasks oriented.
-
@chriswaterguy @marjoleink feel free to suggest new features, please! Here you have a quick directory: http://is.gd/fY9zi
-
@tzk One thing we'd love is a forum for everyone (maybe a group that all members are added to?)
-
@chriswaterguy is not a stable function and is not deployed yet at our flagship we.riseup.net, but wiki, inbox, tasks, polls are awesome !cg
-
@chriswaterguy See mypirates.net for a running network based upon crabgrass. I don't like the concept...
-
@vinzv Thanks. Don't like the concept of mypirates, or Crabgrass?
-
@chriswaterguy It's the concept of using which doesn't fit my needs. For a social network I prefer something facebook or diaspora.
-
@chriswaterguy maybe you could just having and open group, and a council for handling the admin at a very start. You can use debates too.

@vinzv What in particular? Are there specific features you miss?
-
@chriswaterguy I miss a "timeline" and the concept of groups, networks etc. confuses me.
-
@vinzv @chriswaterguy since another matter is privacy, the TL you can use is your own inbox with updates of your watched pages and friends

@chriswaterguy we should learn Rails or getting a mentor for figuring out how to contrib; Or at least working on a custom deployment 2play.
