  How much of the Facebook "experience" does Facebook actually
release?  Obviously they don't release the data, but I wouldn't expect
them to release everything you need to create an "empty copy" of
Facebook, either.  I tried Googling[1] but all I find are people
arguing about the license and zero-content blog posts.  <insert rant
about useless blogs>  It certainly looks like it might be a useful
thing anyway, but I'm not sure it will help Paul if it's just an
engine without a UI.
