Social Networking Solutions

This text is inspired by previous href = " sevavaber.habrahabr.ru/blog/38613.html "> posts that list social network engines, but are hardly analyzed for use.

Here I first collect all the possible engines that are found from references, search engines and various archives. And I filter them, removing obviously unsuitable for use by me. At the same time, the criteria for using other people may be different, so all the engines remain in the second part of the list. In total 65 projects were considered.

Evaluation criteria:
1. Code in OOP style
2. Mandatory use of a template engine (separation of code and layout)
3. Localization support (separation of texts and everything else)
4. Structuring (separation of modules into files and folders)
5. Open source (free or inexpensive)
6. implementation language (php, ruby, c #, python)

And now let's go in alphabetical order:
