Yes, I'm aware of the status of SocialSite, and it was kinda my idea to perhaps recruit some people wanting to implement their own backend to SocialSite-related work. I think the support here at the Shindig mailing list is awesome, and people get feedback on whatever problems they have. Hopefully the Apache SocialSite community can grow like this community, and perhaps also contribute to eachothers success :)
