I recently finished a decentralized content API for my own personal website and for a future community that is planned to be an article publishing portal. It is only a private console with an API, so there isn't much to look at.

I tied up a number of loose ends with my own personal website, integrated the API from my decentralized content web application and my google books library.

My current project is to finish reading The Little Schemer and doing the exercises alongside it. I've been learning a lot and thoroughly enjoying it. My next programming project will probably be to move my decentralized content API from PHP+MySQL to an Erlang backed key-value store and a Scheme powered content API; I may still use PHP for the web interface.

I'm building an open source rails framework to create sub-communities on facebook that are focused on a particular interest, but also providing other views into the app, such as a standard web interface, phone interface, and iphone/android native apps. Facebook connect provides you with some interesting options for taking elements out of facebook and using them in other places, and really allows you to build one application and treat facebook as a view format rather than a completely separate entity.

I'm also building in some cool functionality to bring widgets into the app, where you can build out your pages based on what widgets you are interested in, similar to widgets in wordpress admin or igoogle.
