Talk:OStatus

Latest comment: 7 years ago by Danylstrype

Implementations edit

Friendica, Robin, StatusNet, MiniMe, Buddycloud, Wordpress (Plugin)... Diaspora is going to get OStatus support in the future. --91.97.211.210 (talk) 01:35, 28 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

One of the current devs described Diaspora's eventual use of OStatus as "somewhat bespoke schema and methods of implementation" and therefore not automatically compatible with other OStatus apps: [1]. If we can find a secondary source for this, it can be mentioned on the page. Danylstrype (talk) 12:16, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Sorting live apps from dead ones edit

The list under the 'Support' section is currently a mix of apps which are still under active development and others that appear to be dormant or dead. Results of a web search are listed below, and I'm going to alter the current page accordingly. Danylstrype (talk) 12:16, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Active edit

Projects which are still in active development and still support OStatus.

  • GNU social (formerly StatusNet)[1], Friendica[2], Mastodon[3]

Not sure edit

Projects which may or may not be active, and may or may not still support OStatus.

  • MiniMe - referred to in an earlier version of the page. I can't find any reference to a website or software package called MiniMe, except for its use by PCLinuxOS, and I can't find any reference to that supporting OStatus. Citation please. Currently removed from the page.
  • Project Danube - projectdanube.org now points to danubetech.com. There are recent commits to a number of GITHub repos owned by "Danube Tech"[4], some of which relate to projects mentioned on the new homepage. No mention of OStatus anywhere here.

Not active edit

  • buddycloud: no code commits on anything other than the website since March 2016[5], last blog entry June 2015[6].
  • Duuit: URL still live but most recent content is a file uploaded in Feb 2017[7], otherwise nothing since Nov 2016[8], and the blogs are riddled with linkspam[9]
  • Lorea: Elgg fork. URL has a 'last code' button linking to GITHub, no new commits since Aug 2016[10]
  • OpenMicroBlogger: dead URL went 403 between Oct and Dec 2014[11]
  • rstat.us: dead URL, no commits at GITHub since Jan 2015[12], no GITHub activity by developers since June 2016[13]
  • SocialRiver: refers site visitors to Identi.ca and Twitter[14]

Secondary sources edit

When I started working on it this page has pretty much no secondary sources. I've added in a few (does the Free Software Directory count as secondary source?), but some of them are tech blogs and may not meet Wikipedia's criteria for credible sources. There are still quite a few primary sources too, which is far from ideal. I did a quick web search for sources that might be useful for further developing this page and found these[1],[2],[3].
