Liferay Social Office is an open-source social collaboration solution for the enterprise. If you can’t “sell” Elgg to a corporate client looking to implement a social networking platform, definitely look at Liferay. (You’ll need Apache Tomcat to install this on your server).

Read artcile: 25 Microchips that shook the World from IEEE Spectrum, it’s quite educational (for geeks, at least).
I’m reading the Horizon Report of 2010 and it states that the key trends of 2010 in terms of emerging educational technologies are mobile computing and open content, but I’m mostly interested in the fact that gesture-based computing and visual data analysis are listed as technologies with time to adoption 4-5 years.

Apache Wookie is a widget server initially started by TENCompetence but currently incubating at Apache Foundation. You can use Wookie to deploy mini-applications but also fully-collaborative applications in the form of a widget, and there are already available widgets for WordPress, Elgg and Moodle.
