I'm really interested in what percent of Kickstarter projects end up abandoned, like Diaspora just was? Are there any statistics?

Kickstarter link[1] for the lazy. They raised $200k as of June 1st, 2010.

Ok, apparently you read a different article than I did?

Because the implication of what I read was that the founders are still working Diaspora, but that they're preparing to make the project more community oriented.

Now, that could just be their way of spinning it. Are the founders leaving to work on other jobs? I don't know much of the background here -- does it have something to do with this makr.io thing?

The goal is to make this an entirely community-driven and community-run project. This part sounds like they're leaving.

https://joindiaspora.com/ – where are the screenshots? I click around to see other Diaspora installations, and what I get is stuff like this one: https://pod.pubis.se/ WTF is this?

There used to be a page at https://www.joindiaspora.com/project.html with screenshots, but it doesn't seem to exist now.

Edit: I found this video http://vimeo.com/37411394

They seem to have moved to http://makr.io. I think the fact the site greets you with a Facebook login button says enough about their belief in Diaspora.
