We've pushed out a significant new release to the edge Insoshi branch, adding photo galleries, a new icon set, and a tabbed user interface for individual profiles. (Much thanks go to Bill Lazar for taking the big initial steps toward these additions.) The new edge is currently running on the demo site (http://demo.insoshi.com/) and will be merged into master within a couple weeks.
The UI changes are significant enough that we've put a special tagged version of Insoshi at GitHub in case you want the old UI. As long as you've set up your repository according to our documentation, you can get the original_layout tag as follows:
This last step assumes you want to develop a new branch starting with the old layout.
I'd also like comment on groups development. Long and I are currently busy working on a commercial project based on Insoshi, and I'm also preparing talks for an upcoming Rails meetup and the Professional Ruby Conference, so we've decided to focus on providing guidance for groups contributors rather than implementing groups ourselves. For those who want groups in Insoshi, please email me off-list to get an invitation to our Basecamp project so you can get involved in making contributions. We have one contributor who has made a first cut at groups, but I've discovered that the initial implementation of a feature is often only around 10% of the total, so there's plenty of work left for ambitious contributors. Since we're depending on volunteer effort, there's no specific timeline for release of the groups feature.

The new features are awesome!! The new icons are very good, and the new user interface is perfect. The photo gallery is cool too.
I have seen something wrong in http://demo.insoshi.com/people It appears to be an error with the people descriptions, that is not escaped and it makes the list be wrong.

That's me. I committed a very initial version to lets see you what I've done. I have changed the project at work, so I'm not programming in Insoshi now (and nobody is at work), so I have no time to continue the development of the groups at the moment. I hope I can resume what I've done in three weeks (but it may be a month). I'm sorry, because I was learning a lot developing with Insoshi, but I hope to continue this, or maybe if I could, after work.
I have to agree - Install was a breeze on my MacBookPro (already
running the previous version of Insoshi). 3 minutes following the
clear instructions and I was up and running and able to play around.
Some of the new features I like are the ability to whitelist someone
before they become a full-fledged user, the hidden photos on the front
page for privacy, and of course the basic photo gallery.
It looks rock solid to me at this point, but I've only been testing
for 30 min.

Glad you like them! Contributor Bill Lazar is responsible for both the tabs and the new icon set.

That's actually just people putting <li> in their descriptions. Since we allow HTML formatting in profile descriptions, people can screw up the page for other people by including dubious markup. On a real site, the admins would probably want to prevent that, but on the demo site it's OK to leave it as-is.

On a real site, I prefer to use javascript editors instead of Markdown/Textile textareas. Of course geeks prefer those textareas but most users don't understand them.
Does anyone know a good javascript editor for production usage? I tried the fckeditor plugin and the tinymce plugin but I'm not satisfied with them, the first one is too heavy and the second one as a police too small.

We found that rich text editors felt a little heavy-weight for things like forum posts and wall comments, but if you look at the profile edit page at http://demo.insoshi.com/2/edit you'll see that we do have a rich text editor for the profile itself. We use FCKeditor, which as you noted is a little heavy, but I've not found anything better.
If you've already cloned the official repository (located on GitHub at http://github.com/insoshi/insoshi with the git clone URL git:// github.com/insoshi/insoshi.git), you should be able to pull in the changes.
Assuming your local repository is configured as recommended in our Git Guides (http://docs.insoshi.com/Git-Guides), all you'll need to do is
$ git checkout edge $ git pull
Or email me directly and I can work with you to make sure your local repository is set up correctly.
