Lorea

(Re-)Taking the Networks!

The lorea code aims at providing individuals and teams with privacy-aware, security-conscious, and user-controlled-data collaborative tools over the Web, and around it.

The main application is based on Elgg, a PHP-based social networking platform. Lorea extends it with plugins to provide better privacy features, including strong encryption, OStatus-based federation with other Lorea/Elgg installations and OStatus-compliant projects, etc.

It also integrates other popular technologies such as DokuWiki, Etherpad, XMPP, etc., and provides GPG-encrypted mailing-lists to groups.

Installation

Our code is divided in two git repositories: elgg and lorea-plugins. You can get it using the following commands.
