    Better array access

commit 49d47257efdcae2101b589a1f825872bdd70667c
Author: Evan Prodromou <evan@status.net>
Date:   Mon Jul 9 10:57:16 2012 -0400

    Show list of other accounts in profile block

    We add a group of "rel-me" links to other user accounts on the Web.

    This is mostly useful for when you've used OpenID, Twitter, or
    Facebook login to associate a remote account.

    There's an extension to the profileblock recipe to show the links as
    little icons; there's a new hook in accountprofileblock to get such
    links from plugins.

    There's a modification to the base theme to show the icons correctly
    (I think).

StatusNet 1.1.0
2 July 2012

This is the README file for StatusNet, the Open Source social
networking platform. It includes general information about the
software and the project.

Some other files to review:

- INSTALL: instructions on how to install the software.
- UPGRADE: upgrading from earlier versions
- CONFIGURE: configuration options in gruesome detail.
- PLUGINS.txt: how to install and configure plugins.
- EVENTS.txt: events supported by the plugin system
- COPYING: full text of the software license

Information on using StatusNet can be found in the "doc" subdirectory
or in the "help" section on-line.

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 minor bug fix and feature release since 1.0.1, released 3
October 2011. (Because the plugin interface has changed in an upwardly
compatible way, we've incremented the minor version number. See
http://semver.org/ for the semantic versioning scheme we follow.)

It includes the following changes:

- ActivitySpam plugin to check updates against spamicity.info
- Options to hide users who've been silenced or have posted spammy updates.
- OfflineBackup experimental plugin.
- Fixes for TwitterBridge to correctly handle replies through the bridge.
- Improvements in ActivityStreams JSON output to better match 1.0 spec.
- Console scripts for managing groups.
- Bug fix for conversation counts in conversation streams.
- Rights for moderators to manage spam.

A full changelog is available at http://status.net/wiki/StatusNet_1.1.0.

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!
