Read on for how to get started.
**THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE AND SHOULD BE TREATED ACCORDINGLY.**
**IT IS FUN TO GET RUNNING, BUT EXPECT THINGS TO BE BROKEN.**

Diaspora is decentralized. You don't need an invite to joindiaspora.com to fully participate. Just choose your pod for example at http://podupti.me or http://dspr.tk/a If you still want one have a look at https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Invitations Or setup your own pod
Even if you're not a programmer, we'd love for you to give Diaspora a spin; all suggestions and comments welcome!
Installation instructions are [here](http://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Installing-and-Running-Diaspora).

- Take a look at the [issue tracker](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues) and pick a bug.
Write a spec for it, so it's easy for another developer to fix it.
Catches must be tested, and all your tests should be green,
unless you're marking an existing bug, before a pull request is sent.
Unit tests should be in Rspec, and integration tests should be in Cucumber.
Please make your changes in a branch to ensure that new commits to your master are
not included in the pull request, and to make it easier for us to merge your commits.
See [here](http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg39091.html)
for when to rebase.
