This is good idea Praveen.
Even I agree that people should stop giving just lip service of praises
and feature request and offers to promote things when they are ready.
Instead of wating for the product to be ready, it should be "let's help
it get ready " attitude.
Just wondering, do we need a foreign bank account for indiegogo campains?
To my knowledge it is not directly possible to get foreign currency in
an indian account, either personal or NGO.
So just curious to know how this can be managed.
Happy hacking.

Hi,
I wish to work full time on diaspora packaging at least for a month, so
I'm asking the community to support me.
You can see the details at

This would be my first campaign to fund Free Software development via
crowd funding. I think our attitude of waiting for Free Software to
mature, waiting for other people to code features we need, needs to
change. With internet as a medium of fund raising our regular fund
raising targets� needs to evolve from just charity and festivals and
sustain continued development of Free Software we use every day.
I'm willing to put more of my full time to sustain this model of
developing features we want, not just for myself but build teams if more
people are interested. Let me know if you would be able to work full
time on projects if we can raise the money. I would like to help gnukhata
crowd funding effort also if there is an interest.
Jabber, diaspora, webmail, firefox os, all needs lot of work to get even
basic functionality we are familiar with proprietary services working.
Jabber can't do push notifications, roundcube don't have conversations
firefox os doesn't have text secure etc.
Share it among your friends and see if you can contribute some amount,
however small it is. Also if you want to join the packaging effort,
will be able to share some amount I receive.
You can use a credit card or transfer money directly to my account.
