G'day,
we are working on a "social network" in python, and looking for devs !
The project is well advanced: http://salut-a-toi.org (demo on
http://www.libervia.org).
I don't want to enter in a implementation language troll, but as far as
I know, here are the current projects working on microblogging with XMPP:
- Jappix: probably the most famous with buddycloud, implemented mainly
in javascript, works mainly in browser with BOSH, do microbloggging, has
a embedded chat version (jappix mini). Web only
- Movim: implemented in PHP/Javascript, was using BOSH but use
Websockets now (more efficient), do microblogging, RSS feeds
integration. Web only (there is now a Firefox OS + Android app, the
later beging an embedded web browser).
- Live Jabber (LiJ): focuses on microblogging, aggregator/gateways to
other platformes, web + CLI
- Buddycloud: implemented in Java, web + ??? (I think a least mobile).
Used in production. I don't know that well the internals, but Simon
already answered to the thread here, so he can give more informations
- Salut à Toi (the one I'm working on): implemented in python,
multi-frontends (web, desktop, ncurses-style, CLI, etc).
All these projects are active, and we work together and know each other.
Buddycloud use its own implentation for microblogging, while the other
ones use XEP-0277. We hope that in the future we'll all be compatible.
So "XMPP as a social network" is defenitely an idea being actively
worked on.
Cheers

Hey,
I have been looking to work on building a social network and a social
network around XMPP seems nice.
I have experience with Django, so in case you decide to take the idea
forward, I will really want to work on it.
Thanks!

Hi there
What happened with the `XMPP as a social network` idea? I would love
to see a social network build on XMPP soon. There are a few projects
yet:
* Jappix: Runs very well, but its a bit ugly / complicated for new
users and the theme is outdated (in my opinion) [1].
* Movim: Not so kick-ass as they described. Crashs very often (on
my own box) and there is no `easy` option to let (new) user register
on my own xmpp server [2].
* Onesocialweb is dead [3].
* Social Stream: The last commit was at Jun 5, 2014. And its
written in ruby [4].
* Buddycloud is nice, but its written in Java and Java has many
security risks [5].
So is `XMPP as a social network` a misuse of the xmpp `standard` /
basic idea?
Because I'm going to write an open-source social network based on
XMPP (mostly pubsub). Maybe in a nicer language (i.e. javascript
/php (file upload and so on) / python (django) ). It should have an
activity flow, like Social Stream [4], a Chat (w OTR support), like
converse.js [6] and thats all for now. It should be very basic and
secure and more suitable for people with less xmpp experience. That
means, simple login / user creation, simple posting (w maybe like /
dislike) and post reading (activity flow), chat w/o otr.
I don't know why the other projects are dead or `not working well`
so I hope you folks can give me tricks, hints & pitfalls if I should
/ shouldn't launch the new project I mentioned above.
Thanks so far for your thoughts.
Cheers
Christian Homeyer
