Diaspora to hit beta sometime within next 30 days.

[MasterNetra]

Hey all, I'm currently a diaspora user, and giving ya a heads up that according Yosem Diaspora is going to beta within the next 30 days.

In one of his recent posts:

Hi all,

I've been seeing a lot of chatter about an impending D* beta release for this Sunday.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Sunday will only be preparation maintenance for the beta, rather than the beta itself.

But fear not, the beta is coming, and soon. It will happen sometime in the next 30 days...

Best,

Yosem

How long has it been alpha?

How long has it been alpha?

Over a year but dunno how long exactly.

Wow, talk about slow development

Wow, talk about slow development

Its to my understanding that there are few programmers on it, I guess, developing a social media not exactly a small undertaking as I understand it.

Kind of like ReactOS.

Kind of like ReactOS.

Except that ReactOS will probably still be in alpha when diaspora finally transitions into and out of beta.

The core team while smart, have lacked competence, leading to the security problems last year and the inability to ship quickly. After a year of working on this, I think that they are much more experienced and vastly better than they were before. However, it feels like the community have essentially donated towards funding the education of four people and not much else.

Consider it a investment if the case. But they are working on it, and beta is coming soon so yea.
