## README

# giraffe #

Giraffe is a personal "social network" node. It offers a "news feed" like activity reading and publishing system, using open protocols to integrate with other installations of Giraffe and similar software.

Giraffe isn't anywhere near done, but you can check out what's here, such as it is.


## Requirements ##

Giraffe is a Django application. To use it, you will need:

* Python 2.x (2.5 or greater)
* virtualenv and pip
* An AMQP server such as RabbitMQ
