no concrete plan yet ... right now its just coding as it goes when i'm
free .. its also a learning project for me as its been quite some time
since i last code something on a small framework ..

though the general idea is to have:
- set of RESTful API for trusted servers to push activity stream entries.
- set of RESTful API for subscribing to local streams and remote
ostatus streams.
- set of RESTful API for client apps.
- distributed identity using openid.
- websocket/socketio channels for javascript apps to subscribe for
notifications.
- minimal web ui for ppl who just want a simple social site with
activity stream.
