Hi, Its an experiment to create a new model when user community prioritize what features they want and fund it directly even when developers don't see it as a priority. True power of Free Software, if you can't code, just hire someone who can code. Though the option was always there, popularity of sites like pledgebank.com and kickstarter.com enabled anyone to start these kind of fund raising and it is easy for people who are interested to contribute to come together. It is much like our "bucket collection", but expanded to the internet and there by enabling any one with an internet connection to participate. Check this out at http://www.pledgebank.com/diasporaopenid Interesting one of the founders of diapora, Ilya Zhitomirsky is also supporting this pledge drive. One more thing that makes diaspora exciting is the ability to talk to developers directly. You can comment on their status and they comment on your status too! Diaspora is becoming a truly amazing community. Thanks Praveen PS: I still have some invites left for those who want to try. Also if any students want to do internships or projects on diaspora, they can contact me. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. _______________________________________________ Swathanthra Malayalam Computing discuss Mailing List Project: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/smc Web: http://smc.org.in | IRC : #smc-project @ freenode disc...@lists.smc.org.in http://lists.smc.org.in/listinfo.cgi/discuss-smc.org.in -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- " One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them.
