So say we all! Unfortunately, I don't see any free (or even close) alternatives out there. The closest I can find are some local social networking websites[1] but they've traditionally concentrated on localization rather than internationalization. This policy did help them succeed in the countries they operated in and/or targeted but only until facebook became widespread. They failed to compete against this new service that offered the same features they offered but attracted users from all over the world. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 [1] http://irc-galleria.net/ _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
