@girish What will it take to get this packaged as an unstable app?

[girish]

@murgero Thanks, I have put this on my TODO list. I have a couple of apps in my list already, so I should get to this next week.

[girish]

I marked this as WIP now.

[murgero]

@girish Can we get this as unstable in the app store?

[girish]

@murgero Yup, it's in my wekan for next week. This week got busy with some app updates. Some apps are not updating cleanly like nodebb...

[murgero]

@girish I understand, thank you!

[murgero]

@girish any chance this might get packaged?

[girish]

@murgero oh, what's the current status of the app?

[murgero]

@girish Working. LDAP is non-existent though.

[girish]

@murgero That's fine, LDAP is not mandatory. Marked this one as WIP as well.

[murgero]

@girish Thank you!

@murgero I had got the impression the GNU Social had mostly died until I looked at the repository you shared:

https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social - updated 5 days ago

From what look to be all the old "official" links it seems dead:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_social - mention last stable release 2014

https://www.gnu.org/software/social/ links to https://gnu.io/social/ which links to https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/ where the most recent update was 3 years ago.

But looking at https://www.diogo.site/projects/GNU-social/soc/ it looks like this Diogo chap has been developing it since 2018 (and has implemented ActivityPub plugin?)

What's the deal?

Edit: yeah, Diogo is the lead developer these days.

This seems up to date:

https://gnusocial.network/

You would think FSF would update the repository links etc on all the links above

@jdaviescoates As far as I can tell - my repo for this is working. The only thing that needs heavy testing is ActivityPub support.
