Hi Folks,

Great example to learn the development process of a typical Free
Software project.
http://getsatisfaction.com/diaspora/topics/connect_with_identi_ca_add_it_in_services

1. People finds out we can connect facebook and twitter to diaspora,
but there is no support for identi.ca
2. Someone reports it to the developers that this feature is needed.
3. Many people who also require this feature adds their comments
4. I also finds this is an important fix and comments, it is is
similar to twitter code, we just need to change urls.
5. Someone actually writes the code and submit it as a pull request

Those taking git class please explain this example - what is a pull
request and how it can be sent, how can it be accepted, show what
change was required etc.

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.
