Should GNU social be a straight up replacement for existing social networks? I don't think so.
Should GNU social include the creation of a protocol for decentralized, encrypted communication between social networks? I think it should. Not wishing to disappoint, but I think the idea of making a straight up clone of Facebook that is AGPL isn't what we should be thinking about here. We may decide to create a simple, Facebook-type UI as a demo for one of the possible applications of GNU social, but let's also consider the future and other ideas for social software. With that in mind, what are your ideas for GNU social? Add your ideas at LibrePlanet: http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/Group:GNU_Social
