I see where you're coming from, but I think we're talking about 2 different things. The trail of the conversation was this:

sumeetjain quoted: "We have Diaspora working, we like it, and it will be open-sourced on September 15th."

Then "what" said they didn't have it working yet according to a video posted a little while ago.

I said that it might be working now because it's been over a week, assuming they're pulling long hours to make it work.

So, I guess the definition of "working" really depends on what the Diaspora team meant when they said it was working and they liked it (in this context).
