This is just a preliminary blog entry to post the code for two new plug-ins for Elgg. Of course, i am aware that Elgg goes live with version 1.0 in a matter of weeks, but for those interested in using the plug-in with older versions of Elgg, here is the code. In the upcoming weeks, i plan to release the code on the Elgg open source community.
