As other people have already said: this is just an early code drop. It would be good to have it transition into an open source project with many developers, especially because the developers are I assume starting their fall school term.

I enjoyed building and playing with the code, and I hope that there is a much improved version in the future.

"the developers are I assume starting their fall school term." Two of the Diaspora team graduated in May, and the other two have taken a leave of absence from NYU to continue to focus on the project. See: http://www.joindiaspora.com/2010/08/26/overdue-update.html
