-networking platform. It includes general information about the
-software and the project.
-

-
-About
-=====
-
-StatusNet is a Free and Open Source social networking platform. It
-helps people in a community, company or group to exchange short status
-updates, do polls, announce events, or other social activities (and
-you can add more!). Users can choose which people to "follow" and
-receive only their friends' or colleagues' status messages. It
-provides a similar service to sites like Twitter, Google+, Facebook or
-Yammer, but is much more awesome.
-
-With a little work, status messages can be sent to mobile phones,
-instant messenger programs (GTalk/Jabber), and specially-designed
-desktop clients that support the Twitter API.
-
-StatusNet supports an open standard called OStatus
-<http://ostatus.org/> that lets users in different networks follow
-each other. It enables a distributed social network spread all across
-the Web.
-
-StatusNet was originally developed for the Open Software Service,
-Identi.ca <http://identi.ca/>. It is shared with you in hope that you
-too make an Open Software Service available to your users. To learn
-more, please see the Open Software Service Definition 1.1:
-
- http://www.opendefinition.org/ossd
-
-StatusNet, Inc. <http://status.net/> also offers this software as a
-Web service, requiring no installation on your part. See
-<http://status.net/signup> for details. The software run
-on status.net is identical to the software available for download, so
-you can move back and forth between a hosted version or a version
-installed on your own servers.
-
-A commercial software subscription is available from StatusNet Inc. It
-includes 24-hour technical support and developer support. More
-information at http://status.net/contact or email sales@status.net.

-
-New this version
-================
-
-This is a security fix and bug fix release since 1.1.0,
-released 2 July 2012. All 1.1.0 sites should upgrade to this version.
-
-It includes the following changes:
-
-- Fixes for SQL injection errors in profile lists.
-- Improved ActivityStreams JSON representation of activities and objects.
-- Upgrade to the Twitter 1.1 API.
-- More robust handling of errors in distribution.
-- Fix error in OStatus subscription for remote groups.
-- Fix error in XMPP distribution.
-
-A full changelog is available at http://status.net/wiki/StatusNet_1.1.1.
-
-Troubleshooting
-===============
-
-The primary output for StatusNet is syslog, unless you configured a
-separate logfile. This is probably the first place to look if you're
-getting weird behaviour from StatusNet.
-
-If you're tracking the unstable version of StatusNet in the git
-repository (see below), and you get a compilation error ("unexpected
-T_STRING") in the browser, check to see that you don't have any
-conflicts in your code.
-
-Unstable version
-================
-
-If you're adventurous or impatient, you may want to install the
-development version of StatusNet. To get it, use the git version
-control tool <http://git-scm.com/> like so:
-
- git clone git@gitorious.org:statusnet/mainline.git
-
-This is the version of the software that runs on Identi.ca and the
-status.net hosted service. Using it is a mixed bag. On the positive
-side, it usually includes the latest security and bug fix patches. On
-the downside, it may also include changes that require admin
-intervention (like running a script or even raw SQL!) that may not be
-documented yet. It may be a good idea to test this version before
-installing it on your production machines.
-
-To keep it up-to-date, use 'git pull'. Watch for conflicts!
-
-Further information
-===================
-
-There are several ways to get more information about StatusNet.
-
-* There is a mailing list for StatusNet developers and admins at
- http://mail.status.net/mailman/listinfo/statusnet-dev
-* The #statusnet IRC channel on freenode.net <http://www.freenode.net/>.
-* The StatusNet wiki, http://status.net/wiki/
-* The StatusNet blog, http://status.net/blog/
-* The StatusNet status update, <http://status.status.net/> (!)
-
-Feedback
-========
-
-* Messages to http://support.status.net/ are very welcome.
-* The group http://identi.ca/group/statusnet is a good
- place to discuss the software.
-* StatusNet has a bug tracker for any defects you may find, or ideas for
- making things better. http://status.net/open-source/issues
-* The StatusNet forum is at http://forum.status.net/.
