Eldis Community

The Eldis Community is a free on-line community where people can meet others involved in international development, discuss important issues and share useful resources.

• Membership and group creation is free: the service is financially supported by the Eldis donor group.
  
• On joining the Eldis Community, you can create your own profile, and thereby get your own personal website (with a personal blog, photo album and file storage area). You control how much of this can seen by other members. If you don't want a personal website, you can also register for a limited profile with rights to read and post.
  
• Members can join groups and network with other members of the community.
  You can also create your own group and invite others to join. Groups can be public or private, and you select which tools you want to use (discussions, blog, filestores, calendar, wiki)
  
• Publishers can share their content on the site, by creating groups or by contributing to one of our community tools (the development newsletter archive, the Google websearch, our del.icio.us tagging service, or as a newsfeed in one of our site's "content blobs").
  
• The Community is web-based, but members can also choose to receive email notifications from the site when new content is added (and can also post messages to group discussions by email).
