Seconded. Also, the answer to the second question ("is Diaspora portable") dodges the actual question, and makes me wonder what the Diaspora team actually want

Seconded. Also, the answer to the second question ("is Diaspora portable") dodges the actual question, and makes me wonder what the Diaspora team actually want to accomplish. An answer like "portability is not an issue, we plan to sell you fully configured plug computers anyway" would be much more reassuring. I suspect they don't plan to sell such devices. And I totally don't understand why not.
