Applications which might be useful for the freedombox users
(users means the ones who use it, not tech-savy and comfortable with networking and other problems. It is user as opposed to developers. Else the word user is misleading, and should be avoided, imho. Yield for the hands on imperative, have at it).
Useful for others too, sure.

Some things to keep in mind, i will make short notes, as far i know it:
- decentralized
- already packaged in Debian
- not from contrib or non-free, and no: no means no. no further discussion of the matter
- user-friendly, easy, aka: kiss (keep it small and simple)
- as low on resources as possible (important for me, nadir)

A lot is already listed here:
wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/LeavingTheCloud
debconf-video about the freedombox (intro, so to speak):
penta.debconf.org/dc11_schedule/events/...

A general overview of the social-web:
www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wik...
which includes decentralized social networks.

Most will be packaged for Debian i386.
I am not sure about being de-centralized and other needs.
It will need to be edited accordingly.
