OpenQabal is a decentralized social networking and collaboration suite that operates on a federated model. It is designed to foster an open and collaborative community.
Another feature is the snap-in architecture that allows for the insertion of additional applications or the replacement of default applications into an OpenQabal instance. With OpenQabal, users can experience real dynamic conversations, unlike contemporary blogging platforms that only provide a flat view of posts and their associated comments. The system supports a richer model of conversations, with various views such as Forum style, Blog style, NNTP, e-mail thread, all within the same conversation.
Users can have open access through standard protocols and APIs to all the functionality and data associated with an OpenQabal instance. The system supports Digital Identity and PKI, and Multi-Modal Interaction. OpenQabal leverages emerging Semantic Web technologies to build a more enhanced model for linking blogs, allowing conversations to span multiple domains and providers.
OpenQabal supports Microformats, Google OpenSocial APIs, and interoperates readily with other applications that are built on open standards such as RSS, XHTML, Web Services, etc. The system is fully buzzword-compliant, using REST where appropriate.
The latest release of OpenQabal incorporates a code coverage tool into build, and the use of static analysis tools such as PMD and/or FindBugs into the build process. The User Registration application has been updated, and Unit Tests have been added as necessary. OpenID login support has been introduced, and the CSS stylesheets have been cleaned up for more consistency.
Overall, OpenQabal is a powerful, feature-rich, and federated social networking and collaboration suite, designed for seamless integration with other applications and platforms. Its support for open standards and emerging technologies make it an ideal solution for businesses and organizations looking to build a robust and dynamic social networking and collaboration platform.
