Lorea
=====

(Re-)Taking the Networks!

The [lorea](https://lorea.org) 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](http://elgg.org), 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](http://www.dokuwiki.org), [Etherpad](http://etherpad.org), [XMPP](http://xmpp.org), etc., and provides *GPG-encrypted mailing-lists* to groups.
