We were experimenting with the Google group to see if it would be of 
use.  The same  could/can be said for ELGG - the idea being that we try 
different tools/sites out to see which is easiest to use to communicate 
with each other and which provides some form of "social networking" 
element, but it needs more than 2 or 3 of us to use these tools to 
ascertain their usefulness either in isolation, or combined.  For 
example, I'm a member of the Redditch Astronomical Society.  We have a 
website, a blog site and a Yahoo group.  Each is used to a varying 
degree, depending on the type/nature of information being passed on to 
members and they complement each other quite well, so there's no "one 
site to rule them all".
