Original ticket http://trac.elgg.org/ticket/3134 on 41204049-08-04 by ewinslow, assigned to unknown.

Elgg version: 1.7

One great way to communicate what Elgg can do is by showing them what other people have done. One of the first questions I asked when talking to our LMS folks was "is Elgg actually used by anyone else?" I have to admit I fumbled a bit. Fortunately I knew about Brighton and U of Florida, but I had to be honest -- I would have quickly run dry.

This would also be a great way to show off the theming capabilities of Elgg, which are not super obvious right now (those keeping up with 1.8 know, but not your average joe stumbling on the site). Too many Elgg sites look just like the stock Elgg install and it feels very unprofessional. We need to highlight those that have put effort into making outstanding custom themes. This of course has dual benefit for both Elgg and those websites.

See the following for inspiration:

" is Elgg actually used by anyone else? "

dhrup2000 - I don't understand your comment. Evan's point is that we want to showcase attractive and functional Elgg sites that are in use.
