Pligg, a popular open source CMS (content management system) that lets webmasters quickly create Digg clones, has put itself up for sale at Sedo.

Assets included in the sale are the domain name, website and control over the SourceForge account where people can download the current codes.

In an email, Pligg says they have 10,000 registered users on the site and the software has been downloaded 60,000 times.

The Pligg community has grown larger than ever expected, with over 10,000 registered users sharing and trading tips, more than 60,000 Sourceforge downloads and 2 IRC rooms that are active 24/7. It’s become an extremely large project and community to manage. We all have day jobs and struggle to find enough time to keep up the pace. We’ve seen many online businesses develop products to support Pligg recently. Selling everything from custom templates and modules, to support and installation. This is a clear example that with the proper team in place, Pligg.com could easily dominate the other markets in this area. Pligg has even created a shop where users could purchase modules, templates and services, but this feature has yet to be launched.
