Mistpark Server
|
|
Version 2.0 alpha
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Please see the file INSTALL for system requirements.
|
|
|
|
Mistpark introduces a new generation of social networks. Mistpark Server
|
|
allows you to interact with other members of the Mistpark community using
|
|
the DFRN (Distributed Friends and Relations Network) protocol. Other networks
|
|
(such as Diaspora, OneSocialWeb, status.net, etc.) will be supported in the
|
|
future as their products mature and protocol and privacy/rights issues are
|
|
resolved between these networks.
|
|
|
|
It's your network now. If social networking isn't what you thought it would
|
|
be, help us to make it better.
|
|
|
|
A single instance of Mistpark Server supports up to several hundred people
|
|
using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these people can connect with any
|
|
other mistpark/DFRN cell anywhere in the world and share photos, links,
|
|
status updates, whatever. Also available from Mistpark Labs is
|
|
Mistpark Personal Edition, which supports a single user.
|
|
|
|
Mistpark may also be closed off from the global community and used to support
|
|
social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private
|
|
communities. This makes it an excellent choice for providing a safe social
|
|
networking environment to young teenagers, as opposed to (for instance)
|
|
Facebook.
|
|
|
|
Every user has unlimited profiles available. There is a "public profile" which
|
|
can be seen by anybody. Additional profiles may be tailored to specific
|
|
groups or individuals - and shown when a known friend visits your site.
|
|
|
|
Groups may be setup for closed conversations (like Diaspora's "aspects"). In
|
|
this way your conversations with drinking buddies may be kept separate from
|
|
conversations with co-workers (for instance).
|
|
|
|
Please see http://dfrn.org for more information on the mistpark/DFRN project.
|
|
|
|
We will be providing a support site specifically for mistpark at
|
|
http://mistpark.com at a future (unspecified) date. We are still
|
|
evaluating wiki, forum, and bug-tracking software for use on the project.
|
|
At the present time, you may contact the author and raise issues via
|
|
the source code repository on github.com.
