Igloo is a platform for interest groups to connect, collaborate and network. It offers social networking and collaboration features to enhance communication and productivity.
Some key features of Igloo include a Membership Wiki, Blog, Events, Tasks, Polls, a customizable social networking system, really simple publishing tools, a membership access control system, RSS, newsletters, configurable file upload, channels, and tagging.
Igloo is a web standard product, which means it works with standard web server configurations such as a GNU/Linux distribution running Apache and PHP services, or a Microsoft server running IIS or PHP. Igloo has a small hard disk footprint, at approximately 3mb. The amount of space given to each user for file storage is configurable at installation. However, awarding large disk quotas to users will increase your disk space usage, and if you're working with an ISP, it will likely increase your costs.
Finally, Igloo is easy to install and configure for personnel trained in server administration. The latest release includes user interface cleanups, a navigation overhaul, support for public publishing, and email notification on comment receipt. Overall, Igloo is a powerful tool that can help you create a strong knowledge network around your shared interests.
