The solution we went with is called Groundstation
(https://github.com/richo/groundstation).  It is a distributed Twitter
work-alike that uses Git for its back-end and a lightweight gossip
protocol to synchronize other instances on the network.  It presents a
regular HTTP front end (which is easily proxyable through Apache to
add SSL/TLS for data-in-motion protection) and does not require that
users create accounts to use it.  Communication channels are set up on
the server side, and users can interact with (read, post, comment)
with them from the client side.

The gossip protocol Groundstation uses is extremely efficient; we
discovered by accident that we were synching Byzantium nodes via
packet radio on the 2m band and didn't even realize it.
