    Anahita Social Networking Engine ™ alpha2 is now available to the tribe of partners 

    Working on Anahita Social Engine alpha2

    We are excited to announce that Anahita Social Engine ™ alpha2 has been released to the Anahita tribe of partners last night. This is a transition release to the alpha 3 and is not available to the public.

    This release took about 67 days to build since the release of Anahita alpha1 and about half of that time was spent on upgrading the Anahita code to use the most recent Nooku Framework 0.7 code. We are hoping as we build more API and improve the Anahita framework we can reduce the time between each release.

    I would like to thank my best friend and business partner Ash Sanieyan who did most of the work on this release. He is the genius behind implementation of Anahita ™ framework and platform. I like to think of him as the Harry Potter of programming. This project couldn’t have been possible to this degree of quality without him. The Anahita team would also like to thank Mr. Johan Janssens and the rest of the Nooku team who have worked with us to make this release possible.

    What’s new in this release?

    • Significant performance improvement due to the changes both in the framework and database model.
    • Anahita Social Engine is now using the most recent version of Nooku Framework 0.7
    • Implementation of Person Profile privacy settings and Privacy API which can be used within the Anahita Social Apps
    • Improved implementation of the Social Graphs and also ability for people to block other unwanted people.
    • Implementation of APIs that facilitate development of all kinds of Groups social apps for a social network such as: Groups, Events, Projects, Organization pages, Fan pages, etc.
    • Implementation of Node Subscriptions API. This API allows Anahita Social ™ Applications to subscribe a person to a node and notify them later when a change occurs for the node. By default the notifications are handled via Emails, however, in the future Applications can customize this by adding their own notification handler such as SMS, iPhone Push Notification and etc.

      Congrats.. Eager here.. trying to resist using socialengine.net for some products. Can we fast forward like a year? :)

    • Rastin Mehr 3:34 pm on August 1, 2010 Permalink

      @Peter I really think you should try any other option that you have in mind first. If they did the job you have found your match, if not you will have a good list of reasons to come and use Anahita.

    • Peter Armenti 1:48 am on August 2, 2010 Permalink

      Over the last 5+ years I’ve tried them ALL. That’s why I’m here.. and I’m a fan :) . I’m excited that anahita understands what a social network truly is and I love that joomla makes it more extensible than any other options. The forwardness of Nooku framework adds further confidence in it’s future. I’m looking for long-term projects, therefore a long term solution. I apologize if at times I may seem inpatient. It’s hard to crouch when you want to pounce :)

    • Rastin Mehr 1:40 pm on August 4, 2010 Permalink

      @peter thank you so much we are thrilled to know that you are so Interested in the Anahita project. In general our strategy is not try to convince people but rather show them all the options and opportunities that Anahita provides. From my experience our partners each have had their own list of valid reasons to use Anahita as their platform of choice, and hopefully you will find your platform of choice soon as a result of your research. You don’t have to apologize, we really enjoy reading your comments and answer them as best as we can. Thank you for all your contributions so far on the people.anahitapolis.com :)

    Anahita the Alpha Girl in the Social Networking Universe 

    Breakfast at the Joes

    We are celebrating the 4000 code commit and we thought it was about time to release some code to the public so all the hackers and developers out there could have a look inside the existing Anahita Social Engine version 1.0 alpha 1 codename White Angelica. You can download the installable packages here

    So here is what’s new:

    We have changed the version number from 0.9.4 to 1.0

    As an alpha release the code has been working quite well actually. It has already been tested by the Anahita partners and we have also been using it on the Anahitapolis demo for over a month now. The current release is alpha 1. Naturally it has bugs, it doesn’t have some of the features such as privacy, Access Control List, and user blocking isn’t working. Those are all fixed in the alpha 2 release that we are now working on.

    Anahita Social Engine ™ will be free as free beer

    As we have mentioned many times, we will be making Anahita Social Engine available to public for free. If you’d like to download Anahita extensions, social apps, and have your technical questions answered you can always sign up as a partner.

    All the Anahita code is accompanied by the GPL 2 license. Yes even the extensions and social apps. That means once you obtain a copy, you can use it anyhow you want within the terms permitted by the GPL2 license. You can read the source code, modify it, and use it as many time as you wish for your own projects or client projects.

    Please don’t send us your support questions

    That is what the Anahita partner’s plan is for :)

    Comments? Questions about the Project?

    You are more than welcome to post them here. Comments are moderated especially if there are no real name, email, and website url are provided by the author.

    Please don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @anahitapolis and if you are coming from the Joomla Community, you can join the Anahita Social Engine Fan Club here on the Joomla.org website.

      Congratulations to all of Rastin, Arash, and the Anahita Tribe. It was just a couple of weeks ago I accidentally stumbled upon Anahita and I’m so glad I did. Great work and I do believe I’ll be committing myself to Anahita shortly. Best of luck.

      This is great news – you have worked so hard. It’s fun to be celebrating these milestones with you – this is a biggie! Congratulations everyone! :)

    • Rastin Mehr 12:04 am on May 25, 2010 Permalink

      @Nick thank you so much for all the help, support, and providing us with translation files. You folks at the Beyounic are simply amazing.

      @Jen – Thank you :) I can’t wait till we relaunch Tazzu.com using the Anahita Social Engine.

    • Flavio Copes 2:23 am on May 25, 2010 Permalink

      Wow great news! Thanks for your hard work, it will be awesome to read your code and learn more about how Nooku Framework can be used!

    • Vishwash Gaur 4:55 am on May 25, 2010 Permalink

      Congratulations to Rastin, Arash, and everyone else involved .

      It is really a pleasure to see Anahita as Angelica wearing GPL2 cloths :) – I am amazed with Alpha 1 release and really look forward for more from you people in Alpha 2.

      Good luck for your endeavors!

    • Rastin Mehr 1:58 pm on May 25, 2010 Permalink

      @Flavio – thank you! let us know what you think of the code :)

      @Vishwash – thank you so much. Yes we think social web and GPL go hand in hand. That is why all Anahita code even those offered via paid plans are also GPL.

    • Cynthia 4:40 pm on May 26, 2010 Permalink

      Congratulations! It truly is exciting to see Anahita arrive at the first Alpha release. You are doing a beautiful job with her. I expect she will be very well received. :)

      Hi there! There will be an updater from alpha 1 to later versions?
      tia

    • Rastin Mehr 12:36 am on May 27, 2010 Permalink

      @Cynthia thank you so much. She is experiencing a healthy and natural growth. We’re looking forward to many social web solutions in the future that are developed using the Anahita framework and design philosophy.

    • Rastin Mehr 12:38 am on May 27, 2010 Permalink

      @t. nothing that you can easily install and upgrade for this release. We don’t recommend using the alpha 1 for any production sites. There will be easy migration tools for the Beta releases of Anahita.

    • Helio 4:59 am on May 29, 2010 Permalink

      Hi Guys,
