Restful forums/groups/friends/tags etc from joomla - web-services

Are there any solutions that my app could consume forums/friends/groups etc features using joomla through RESTful urls.
I found 2 links so far,
Plexicloud-JWS :- This seems to supports only core features and not what Am looking out for
https://github.com/techjoomla/Joomla-REST-API
This seems to support jomsocial which looks a paid one
If I am not wrong, joomla and jomsocial seem different, is that kind of social wrapper over joomla?
If such solutions are not available with joomla, then with any other open source GPL/MIT in php/rails/java..?
Could any body provide me any pointers please?
thanks

Any oauth2 library for ColdFusiion?

I have designed a Restful component using Coldfusion 11. Now I need to think of securing this REST service.After searching for sometime
I found HTTPS + oauth2 is the best combination for securing REST service.
In the official oauth2 page, We have libraries for different languages. But there is nothing listed for ColdFusion.
Any one having any kind of knowledge if we have a library for oauth2 in ColdFusion?
I believe you are looking for this. This CF script is built by Matt Gifford 3 years ago, so you might want to take a look and update some code. But as far as i believe, it was designed to work on CF9 and CF10, so it will work on CF11 as well.
Let me know if this works for you.

CMS for developer site

I want to build a web to get all my develop content together, get contact information... but I have very low level/imagination with design. Can you recommend me some good CSS web page or a CMS with a template?
Now I'm using blogger (http://www.asturdroid.net/), but it isn't the best alternative
Thank you very much!!
Wordpress is real nice........ especially if it is a self hosted one. There are a lot of nice themes available at themeforest. Also you can find syntax highlighter and other types of good plugins for wordpress
For templates, themforest provides a wide range of them for many cms's. Joomla or Drupal would be a good solution for you, as they're very powerful PHP cms's

Twitter in Django

I have to create web application similar to twitter with a few tweaks using django. I am clueless if I have to use a CMS for this or any other existing django-application. Working from ground up is quite tedious to be honest. Can anyone recommend me which CMS( or anything else) I should attempt trying?
There is a project called trillr1. According to its page:
"Trillr is a Twitter-like microblogging service enhanced with user directory and group discussion features. " that's maybe what you want.
https://contributions.coremedia.com/trillr1
I guess, the closest you can come with an out-of-the-box software to imitate Twitter is Status.net, the software, that powers identi.ca. However, this is a PHP application.
I'm not aware of something similar in the Django world.

What is a simple way to make a basic website with graph database backend for newbie?

Graph database systems like ne04j seem to becoming very popular of late. I am a newbie user who is trying to set-up a website that needs to display some data which is best displayed using a graph database (essentially i will visualize this on the website).
I am designing this website using CMS Drupal but i am open to changing to other CMS or in worst case a web application framework like Django. Can anyone suggest me a basic template, website or extension to a CMS that enable graph databases or a good way to start learning web app development using graph databases for a noob ?
Well, if you're curious about using Drupal to manage graphs, I'd recommend looking over these contributed modules:
http://drupal.org/project/graphapi
http://drupal.org/project/charts
http://drupal.org/project/views_charts
http://drupal.org/project/charts_graphs
There is http://structr.org/, a CMS built on Neo4j and very Open and capable. Other bindings, you might take a look at REST bindings and neo4j embedded bindings to get going.
If you're looking for even more alternatives for charting in Drupal, then you may want to start from the Comparison of charting module, which includes information and links about quite a lot of charting related modules in Drupal.
If you're aware of other modules not included in it, please update that docu if you can, or let me know about it.

Where can I get a website/web application template with user authentication functionality already built in?

I want to start work on a new web application, but I really don't want to re-invent the wheel. I want to make a simple web application that provides some basic functionality, and looks really good. Does anybody know of anything (even if it isn't free) where I could get something that has a good framework laid down already? Where I can have a login/sign up function already built in and ready for use? I have seen a few ecommerce sites that fit the build, but Id have to do a ton of clean-up. I was hoping to find something that was basic, and ready for adding to right away.
I would think that word press or drupal would have something, but I've been looking and haven't been able to find anything.
Thanks!
Try out Thin PHP Framework, it has OAuth built in allow you to login with popular services Google, Twitter, Facebook... or you can use its simple username, password login. Check out the demo here:
http://demo.thinphp.com
website:
http://thinphp.com
Choose your language, there are a lot of different, good frameworks, but you will do best with the language you already know. Wordpress, Drupal, Django, Plone, Joomla, Typo3 are great, and of course they have user authentication.
Looking good is something different, that's design and it is done in CSS. And every CMS or web framework usually has good default CSS templates as a starting point.
