To all LWPS members who have created LWPS communities,

Most of us who have created LWPS communities have added text to the "Who Am I" section of the community profiles and that text is prominently displayed when anyone goes to that community profile.

We are testing [1] the new release 0.8 of Elgg and have discovered it significantly changes the way profiles are displayed. I need to ask for your comments in order to decide what course of action to take. I'm not in a hurry about this, particularly with the NCDA conference next week. But I would like to start a dialog sometime around mid-July.

So that you can compare the current with the new version. pick any community profile and display it. Edit the link/URL in your browser and add "dev." in front of "... lifeworkps.com/ ..." so it looks like "... dev.lifeworkps.com/ ... Hit the Enter key to browse that community on the development/test (DEV) platform. Remove the "dev." and you are back to the current/production/live (LIVE) LWPS.

Note on the DEV system that the "Who Am I" section is not displayed.

Note also that your personal profile on the DEV has the option to "Add a widget" that allows you to add/display any section(s) of your profile - including your "Who Am I' section. BUT NOTE that this "Add a widget" function is not available on communities.

1. The simple solution is for me to contract with Diana (our programmer) to add that widget to the community profiles.
   
2. Another is to ask the Elgg developers if they plan to add that widget. (I don't anticipate a prompt response.)
   
3. Possible solution three is to rework all of our profiles so we don't depend upon the "Who Am I" section. We just use the "Brief Description" to offer a link to a post in the community that contains the contents of the community profile.
   
4. What are your thoughts about these "solutions"?
   
5. What other ideas do you have?

[1] I have no date, nor date for a date when the current/live LWPS will be using the new release 0.8 Elgg code.
