Need translators for a new Open Social Network over XMPP
Hello,
My name is Vincent, i live in France. I help to develop Movim, an internationnal social network, it haven't the goal to be a concurrent against Facebook but to purpose a free and decentralized alternative, in respect to Free Software philosophy.
Discover the project : http://movim.eu/ But be careful, it's still in development (print screen).
How to contribute ?
We need translators contributors for our project : we wish Movim to be understandable in as many languages as possible, and even in some dialects for each country !
So we think to purpose Movim in your language (or in the dialect of your choice) could permit to enlarge the diffusion of this new Social Network.

Diaspora?
Diaspora?
Diaspora isn't based on
competition
facebook chat bruger svjv iøvrigt simple(SIP) og ikke XMPP(jabber), jeg tror ikke diaspora har frigivet realistisk kode endnu mens appleseed vist nok virker.
Onesocialweb is most a kind
Diaspora is open source, but their compatibility layer with XMPP will be very hard to be functional.
Facebook uses XMPP for the tchat, it's sure.
I would say that a project
Okay, actually -
Inching our
Inching our way back to the point:
What is the licensing, how is the localisation performed, what kind of effort is required, as in how many text strings are we talking about?
XMPP
What would be awesome is a truely distributed social network where you own your data , you decide which servers its on and more importantly in which countries your data is. XMPP seems like a protocol where you can implement IM video-chat and voice-chat which would truely would be killer features in itself since the current FOSS software for video chat AFAIK is messy and not stable yet.
@mjjzf : Actually Movim is a
=> Movim is under GNU Affero General Public License
=> Movim website is under CC-By.
The geolocation, and more generaly all privacy policies are "lock-based" by default. It's at the user to unlock what he want to be public.
@dklinux : Absolutly ! Movim do that, Movim IS "a truely distributed social network where you own your data" : @home for example ! I don't know if you think to a P2P architecture when you say "truely" ? There are lot of problems in this case, like identify an user. How to remember your address when you move, when you change of IP ? How to resolve NAT if two users are "truly" on P2P ?
Movim has the objective to be accessible and easy to use. XMPP was (and is) the best choice. The last problem for Jingle is to chose a codec. Google has is own, and would impose his standar. This feature will be implemented later, because it's client side (in javascript) .
I hope I have answered all your questions :)
I've update the list (thanks to a generous contributor, translations have very much advanced).
btw, perhaps you should
furthermore, on the frontpage, that snippet viewing the php code, that is a horrible and nasty way of doing xml output.
You can discover Movim in
Thanks very much to all of you !
It is interesting, I admit.
Unfortunately, I do not have the qualifications to review the code quality - I think security is on everyone's mind for this kind of thing.
Movim 0.3 has been released
Hello all,Near one year
Near one year later, i would show you what Movim become : https://movim.etenil.net/
The 0.5 version has been released this week, see that page for more informations http://blog.movim.eu/and-here-is-movim-0-5-snowball/
We still need your help to offer our software in your language, if you want to contribute like me, add some strings in your list.
Small contributions are as important as large, we need every possible effort to accomplish the feat to propose a multilingual decentralized social network! It's Open Source and much more!
You could meet our team on this XMPP chan: movim@conference.movim.eu
Please help us =)
Hey Vincent
Looks very
Looks very promising!
Thank you ondope ! :)
Hello! The project is
So much has changed since the last time. This time let me tell you more about what has been achieved.
It's no longer necessary to have an account on a Movim pod: do you have a Jabber address? That's it! Just login on Movim (on http://pod.mov.im for example), and it will load your profile, as do a heavy client as Gajim/Pidgin/Empathy.
Movim is now able to provide a flow of microblogging. By default, messages are for your contacts on the XMPP network. Each message can be promoted public, and then appears in an RSS feed that you can share. These public messages that make up your personal page are visible to all Internet, that's why we simply called it your "blog".
Movim also implements the XMPP groups, a kind of cross between a mailing list and newsgroups: you subscribe to a list to receive and send messages to all users. This is quite interesting.
We really took care to make a Responsive Design theme, Movim now also works very well on small screens.
Some screenshots now:

Movim 0.7 is the first version usable by the general public. The code has been really stabilized, I certify you that you can play with Movim 0.7 daily. Because our project is a free software created by volunteers, we ask your help again to offer our great project in your language!
Please, take 5 minutes to translate some strings on this page, it doesn't matter if you can't end all pending translations, someone could do it in the future: https://translations.launchpad.net/movim/trunk/+pots/i18n/da/+translate…
(if some bizare characters are in a string, like "%s" it's normal, let it in your translation, and please take care to follow the exact punctuation!)
Do you want to test Movim? Just login with your XMPP/Jabber account on http://pod.mov.im or create a new one.
We will also be pleased to read your advise on our mailing-list, see http://wiki.movim.eu/mailing_list
