But, I also like OpenSocial because it is supported by Google. When I think ...

We have an elgg site, and need to have forum functionality. The forum should be community wide and not focused on groups, as the standard installation comes along. We need single-sign-on for the site. My research so far: There's a phpBB3 plugin, I'd love to see phpBB3, but that breaks the reqs: no single-sign-on available yet. vanill...
