That's a pretty tall order for one e-mail, but I'll do my best:
> Which is the best Ruby Open Source Social Networking > Platform(Community Engine, Lovd by Less, EngineY, Noofero, Inoshi, > Tog)? CommunityEngine (obviously)! Just kidding: depends on your skill level and requirements. For my money, CE is the most flexible, customizable and adaptable. CE's strengths: - Highly flexible, since Ruby (and the Desert gem) allow you to override and extend CE in almost any way you can think of. - Well tested (good test coverage, passing tests) - Actively developed (see the CHANGELOG or commit history on Github) - Used in production on multiple sites ( http://www.communityengine.org/live.html). I think it's important that the developer (me) uses CE in production for business-critical sites (Curbly, TennisMetro, etc.). This means there's a strong incentive for continued support and development. 2. With the above, Elgg provides much more from the get go than any > of the other PHP or Ruby OS Platforms(Community Engine, Lovd by Less, > EngineY, Noofero, Inoshi)? Please correct me if you feel this wrong? > Haven't used Elgg, so I can't judge. CE provides a fairly robust feature-set (http://www.communityengine.org/features.html). In any case, I think it's more about the quality of features and how they align to what you need than pure quantity. 5. Let's say one was to choose Elgg to build a social network.
