[P2P-F] how about setting up Diaspora* on p2pf.org?

Another handy thing is that you can set up oauth integration in 
diaspora, so folks can post to their facebook and twitter accounts from 
@p2pfoundation.net :)

We can extend it to do things, but really it is not very much like 
elgg.  It is much more like google + > aspects = circles.  Just a 
distributed, secure version of it that was released well before!   If 
your goal is to migrate the ning network to an open source platform, 
elgg is the way to go.  Diaspora, like google+, is an entirely 
different experience!

There are some wordpress integrations too, thus blog posts could be 
cross-posted on the diaspora pod, etc.

I would be glad to help with this if folks are interested!

We could also set up diaspora node and start using it in matter of hours. To put it simple, if people here have facebook and/or twitter account but not diaspora, we can improve a lot with rather little effort!
