Just thought I should pop in to your forum and say hi! I stumbled across Diaspora quite accidentally. I am amazed by what I have seen, looks like you have all put some real effort in.
Quite bizarrely I have been looking for a project to broaden my coding experience, yet not found anything I thought would interest me sufficiently. I have coding experience (C, C++, Fortan, Python, Matlab....) but I make a living as an Aerodynamicist. Despite what you might expect I don't spend all of my time designing Aircraft and Racing Cars but also do a lot of basic development behind the toolsets, hence have gathered some experience with coding and scripting languages.
I have been using CUDA recently (again for science related stuff) and thought I would love to broaden my knowledge by messing about with games. I am a massive BSG fan (hence came here in the first place) so maybe this could be a good place. Who knows, I will check out the source from the subversion repo before I apply.
Even if I (or you) decide helping out with coding isn't to be, no doubt I will stick about, as what you are doing looks fantastic. Hence the whole purpose of this message, just to say hi
