Sounds like old news: Buddycloud hoped to release February 2011 but 
failed that deadline and put up a new one as "by the end of july" - i.e. 
just about now.

Where did you find that outdated info?  I am sitting right now at the 
Buddycloud "village" at CCCamp, and am sure they would love to know any 
miscommunication like that, to be able to correct it.

I recommended Buddycloud as an initial sample application for FreedomBox 
development, because it...

  * is not written in java
  * is not written in PHP
  * uses XMPP (not reinventing messaging on top of http)
  * is actively being packaged for Debian (by me).

Those are just my reasons, not show-stoppers for others: Please do work 
on alternatives - would be awesome with friendly competition!
