At FindMeOn we've decided to do something a little neat -- we're converting a bunch of our code from various projects ( mod_perl, php, raw python) to Pylons and releasing a whitelabel / self-hosted social network solution under a BSD license to be distributed on OpenSN.org
We expect to have the first version ready in a few weeks (though it is a little messy in the way subclassing works) , and looking for a public distro within 2 months. We are using parts of it for 2 projects, and a few friends are building their apps on it. Can anyone offer advice on good ways to approach this from an integration & product standpoint? Right now the 'distro' comes in two parts: /SocialNetworkInABox - basic pylons app that subclasses... /SocialNetworkInABox/lib/externals/OpenSnPylons - core library The idea is that the controllers and model in SocialNetworkInABox all inherit from OpenSnPylons -- so developers can subclass and override, and piece together stuff however they'd like The issues I'm running into mostly have to do with integrating unit tests. I'd like to do this... but the OpenSnPylons stuff is highly abstracted (every featureset it broken into a controller for inheritance, most of the core-pylons stuff is gone). I think the only place tests could happen would be in the sample app. Would that be good enough? If anyone can make suggestions, I'd be grateful. We're opening this up under a BSD or MIT license next month, and hoping to have others join in. Of course... it saves profile info in OpenSN.org format and connects to FindMeOn's RapidRegistration & profile management systems... but a large goal is to offer a library of stripped down 'myspace/facebook' features to inherit, so that startups , development shops , and advertising agencies can use as the basis for their digital efforts.
