Interesting-looking plugin for WordPress that allows you to set up custom Write panels and handle custom fields, file uploads etc in a pretty slick way. Also gives you Edit-in-Place for templates (hot).
Elgg.org
“powerful, professional social networking.” It’s a social network/community site in a box. LAMP stack. Nice.

WP plugin that allows you to create data entry forms that can be used on the Post/Page editing UI. Sounds very cool for customized systems.
Alternative Uses for WordPress
WordPress, the most widely used blogging platform in the world, is built in a relatively content-agnostic way that means it’s suitable for all sorts of things, all it takes is a little bit of creativity and some theme/plugin hacking. I’ve decided to compile a list of alternative/slightly different uses for WordPress that I either see around the place, or that I come up with myself.
I’m not going to go into great detail on how to actually implement all of these ideas, I’m just putting them out there.
Carrington Theme
Hardcore WordPress theme package that takes Sandbox and goes to the extreme. Extends the auto-selection system and gives all sorts of options including actions and filters. Pretty impressive.
