It is a community project and people volunteer to do things. Hiran volunteered to maintain facebook page, Manuel Jose volunteered to maintain twitter page. I added statusnet. We have common agreements as a community. We cannot have same opinion in every issue. Most of what RMS says makes sense to me, but it does not automatically mean, whatever he says is right. We have our own ideas and experiences, so it influences our thought process, we are not blindly following RMS. RMS himself uses identi.ca which is based on StatusNet. So there is no issue there. Twitter is optional, as it is a mirror of StatusNet. Facebook is an issue, but diaspora is a work in progress. Struggle to liberate web services has begun only recently. So it will take some more time for us to completely replace services like facebook (twitter is already replaced by StatusNet). It is similar to RMS using Unix to develop GNU until GNU/Linux was ready. -- 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. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
