I think there will never be one framework, as we already have many applications in different languages which are open source... each will create different guettos and the best we can hope is they will be interconnected by having solid protocols for federation, and that everyone will be able to choose the server, software and language they like more to host their data, so... if we can connect the ones we have we will be there. as such maybe gnusocial should focus more on the federation technologies or protocols that will be considered, and sanctioning softwares that comply, then each "team" can implement it on their own software. Statusnet (php), crabgrass (ruby), elgg (php), pinax (python) ,psyc (weird language :P)... Anyways... if i was to choose a web framework, after what i know right now, i would go a lot more for javascript interface reading directly from something like a rest interface (or directly over psyc), allowing for as less work on the servers as possible. If we want an old style framework, where everything is rendered on the server, i'd say we have very good *applications* at the moment worth considering (i think crabgrass and elgg are the most mature, but i dont know all the options).
