Two decentralized networks should be able to properly sync. I know this has been worked on but never made it into the main codebase.
Sure no question, I’ll link some related discussion.
This highly depends on http://loom.io/discussions/612

Also this discussion should be in the federation subgroup IMO. Gonna request a “move discussion” feature I guess…
OStatus in general, of course.
I think this is less about federating with StatusNet instances, and more about setting up a way to post to one’s own StatusNet account via the Publisher. In theory, all you really have to do is create an omniauth gem for StatusNet. Last I checked, SN offers a Twitter-like API.
I have a really rough WIP one for identica that I was working on, so it might provide some kind of starting point to support general StatusNet installations. You can check it out here: https://github.com/DeadSuperHero/omniauth-identica
Also, take a look here for a general guide: https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Adding-your-favorite-service-to-Diaspora
Of course, if we want to actually federate with StatusNet, Evan from the project has expressed willingness to sit down and work side-by-side with someone to get OStatus compliance working in our app. See the conversation here: http://identi.ca/conversation/93166905#notice-93533473
Sounds like the key people are all willing to help, contribute and provide. All that’s missing is a key dev from what I read. Someone capable with time on their hands willing to do the job?
