I did a bit of digging around when I saw this, as I'm quite interested
in moving to the Autonomous lifestyle, and the initial post gave
absolutely no details away. It looks like the instance-to-instance
comms will all be achieved by using oStatus, and thus will be
federated.

As StatusNet supports groups, I can't see any reason why creating a
group, and inviting people to contribute to that group wouldn't work.

Really looking forward to seeing some code I can use.
