Just a bump to this thread. It looks like the gents at StatusNet are nearly ready for the 1.0 release. They’ve hit the RC1 of 1.0!
Once they get the 1.0 release done, we can look into installing and customizing, as/if needed.
@hasselhofford re: HTML5
I don’t think they support HTML5 yet. It is their next “big thing” to do.
