Hi John,
I think you'd be very interested in Totara Social. It's still in the design phases but very exciting and will be like Yammer on steroids...
See this forum - https://totara.community/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=2668#p10629 and we'd welcome your feedback.
The benefits will be similar to Totara LMS, lowers costs, inherent flexibility that comes with open code. Plus it is being designed to work very well alongside TotaraLMS naturally.
Btw, are you planning to upgrade to 2.2?
kind regards
Richard
My apologies, you are quite right. I have attached the high level requirements for your interest. We will be starting development shortly.

Thank you for the draft product design, can you give any indication of timeline on Totara Social. I'm sure I speak for others who would be interested in this and are already trying to mash a social platform together. This for me is one of the best advances yet.
Hi William,
It's quite a big development so we're yet to pin down a definitive release date (folowing Google & Apple's examples ;-). We have a dedicated team starting on this next month and,at this stage, I expect a Version 1 release during the 3rd quarter.
Thank-you for reviewing and it's good to get positive feedback. We're excited about the project because the proprietary alternatives are poor value for money and naturally more rigid than an open source alternative.
regards
Richard
