For some reason I thought that development was being done in php.
Other than that I'm somewhat dismayed that their open source release isn't actually running on some site and says run at your own risk due to security issues. Edit: (Looks like there is a demo in the comments here but not open to sign up)
Hopefully development continues quick enough that it escapes into the public before the tech hype is gone.
- thinkalone 16y agoI also thought it was going to be in PHP - they definitely mentioned that at some point, but once I saw their website was written in Ruby, I suspected they might be moving in a different direction... Good to see they hit their release date, and I look forward to messing around with it, even though I know more PHP than Ruby ;)
- jlgbecom 16y agoAppleseed and Elgg are both in PHP, if you're looking to help out with an open source social networking project.
- thinkalone 16y agoI've installed and played with both, but I'm still not sure how things will develop if social networks become more "distributed." Ideally, in my opinion, sites sould be able to run any social software, whether Appleseed, Elgg, or Diaspora, and they could all interconnect and push updates to each other, somewhat similar to the many available options for blogging software all syndicating via RSS. I'm glad that there has been so much interest and publicity surrounding Diaspora, since it will benefit this new type of social networking and help it grow, now matter what platform or language each client is built on!
