I think for a community discussion site it is a good idea for a discussion thread where new members can introduce themselves with a few words and at the same time indicate some skills they have and how they would like to help the project.
This is that thread - so introduce yourself!

Hello! I've recently enrolled in the Eliademy course for Diaspora. I'm a web designer/developer from Northwestern United States, who has been using Diaspora 2-3 years now. I've always been interested in having a free software, decentralized social network, and D* seems to be the best around currently. I've been looking for ways to learn more about it and help out with the project, and this class looks like a good way to get started!
My Diaspora ID is [email protected].

Hi, I am Aruna Herath, from Sri Lanka. Should someone wonder its a beautiful little island below India. I am a computer science and engineering undergraduate. I have a good experience with Java, some with python, a little with ruby. I am learning Ruby on Rails and backbone.js and hoping to become a valuable contributor for Diaspora.

Hi Aruna, and welcome. I'd love to visit Sri Lanka one day. I was enjoying watching another Herath bowling a year ago, when England toured there.
It's great to have another developer on board.

I'm Stephen from Florida and I like the sunshine. Also, i'm getting started working with diaspora.

Just a quick question... How do you invite others to loomio?
Stephen Marsh Tue 9 Apr 2013 3:35PM
And a follow-up, you invite someone by arriving on the Diaspora Community page, and on the right side click the "Add New Member" button. It appears I currently have 63 invites left.

I think those invites are for the whole Diaspora* project. But Loomio I think have promised us more if we run out :)
Jason Robinson Tue 9 Apr 2013 5:28PM
Anyway, don't spam invites to people who have not requested them :)

Hi guys, I'm Fabian Rodriguez from Uruguay. I'm a software developer who has been working with ruby on rails for the last couple of years, and started to contribute to Diaspora a while back. My Diaspora handle is [email protected], and I'm willing to help anyone who wants to make Diaspora even more awesome!

Hi, I am lebarjack or François Périchon. I work as a sysadmin and a software developer in a French university.
I had problem with facebook who blocked my account because Le Barjack wasn't supposedly my real name. I had to send them scans of my papers to be able to close the account. That's what made me understand that facebook wasn't a good thing for me, and neither for anyone.
I set up my D* pod a year ago, after trying several other free distributed social networks.
