Check out this comparison of ning look alikes.
grou.ps seems the best.
It has a feature to migrate a ning group, template, content and all.

So Lucas and Thomas seem to think it's worth paying for the thing to continue to exist for the time being.I think the sensible migration strategy is to PhpBB. It's a simple, reliable, easy to maintain forum system with long history, and it does 90%…
Have you got any example of a nice BuddyPress setup? I haven't seen one that makes it easy to understand what functionality BuddyPress has.
I am with Lucas on this. I'll chip in with cash for simplicity's sake.
I suspect that if we move to a WordPress based site, being open-source and relatively easy, we can either find RSS options that work out of the box, or customize something with a bit of help.
Update - we're making progress, but still looking for people with WordPress experience, to help things go smoothly.
If Global Swadeshi decides to go with BuddyPress (the most promising WordPress extension), then this might be a solution:

It's been hard to pin down, maybe cos we haven't really had a hard look at the initial vision. Maybe we take it for granted, but when I looked at it again I think there's a couple of subtleties as to what it looks like, how do we get there, what's t…
So we're back to two choices - if there's a small consensus that it does *something* useful - and I'm noting that's been hard to pin down, but several people have made a simple, clear case that it's doing something which isn't being done elsewhere,…

Sorry for the long time to respond. I rarely check this site. I am aware of the Open Source Ecology project. I support them financially. I have been up there once and am working to get out of debt so that I will be more free to be a part of things like this.

- Vinay, I chatted with Pamela McLean today at our Worknets chat room. She says you're encouraging her and others to promote GlueSniffers and Tuttle. Can we do that on your behalf as we're promoting Mornflake cereal as well?

- Hi Vinay, As you know, my lab Minciu Sodas http://www.ms.lt is working to promote an online video contest for Mornflake cereal http://www.mornflake.com http://www.worknets.org/wiki.cgi?MornflakeResearch
As part of that, I'm trying to show the value of creating a "Mornflake online community news network" that encourages online community participants to promote each other's endeavors.
In particular, I'm promoting through our website MyFoodStory http://www.myfoodstory.info such as promoting Lahrana's post, see: http://www.myfoodstory.info/view.php?pagepath=New2144 and through our website ShopWithUs (for rotating ads throughout our sites) such as your post on flu masks: http://www.worknets.org/wiki.cgi?FluPandemic/Masks which appears at http://www.shopwithus.org and is rotated through our websites.
Vinay, what's the best way at Global Swadeshi to engage people and reach out to other communities as well? Should I start a forum thread? Thank you, Andrius

I'm hoping you might help me figure out how to find a comment to my page.
Recently, I got the following message:

subject jennifer added a comment to your page on Global Swadeshi
Jennifer added a comment to your page on Global Swadeshi
To view the new comment, visit:

Believe it or not, I'm having no luck finding much less reading and responding to Jennifer's comment. A similar failure on my part happened several weeks ago.
Please help me. I'm feeling quite ignorant because I'm likely to be overlooking the obvious here.
Thanks,
paul
