I assume that you have already read our Manifesto and taken a look at our presentations. Hope everything is clear. If not, let us know from the email list.

We currently have 2 plugins, one for MediaWiki, another one for Wordpress. So we should be covering more than half of the open source social media publishing platforms. Similarly we've started supporting Social Beans on our own site, GROU.PS - you can see a View Source link at the footer of each of our 45,000+ groups.

This is a pretty good start. The first draft of the specs, version 0.1 is far from being perfect, but it gives a neat idea about our mission and it helps you visualize what's really going on here and where we are headed to. If you have time, please take a look at the draft of the future version 0.2 and contribute to it by sharing your ideas with us on the email list.

I've been managing many open source projects in the last 6-7 years - including the leadership of Apache Software Foundation's localization efforts in my native, Turkey. Yet, this is perhaps the most ambitious project I've ever been a part of. Enjoy,
