We've released Elgg v0.301 in order to fix the bugs causing problems at the start of the week and add a couple of usability features. Our internationalisation isn't quite complete - it's been pointed out that on some systems the dates don't

I've thought about themes and will do my very best to convert from the old system to the new using an automated script at the point of switchover. It'll be a bit clunky, in the sense that the new elements probably won't completely visually

Due to feedback from extensiveusability testing (both formal and the informal feedback we've received by running elgg.net since November), the Elgg interface is due to change massively. Dave already posted a sneak peek, and we've since got it working on our development site. Here'
