New profiles

[Petar Petrović]

I am about to set up a new Diaspora* pod on my Linode VPS in a few days. My question is - when will we get the new profiles? Some members on joindiaspora.com already have them and I wish so much to have them, too.

Hi!

I think we already talked on IRC, but just to put the answer here, too, in case somebody looks for it:

https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/FAQ-for-Developers
"How do I get the latest beta features aka. "New Hotness""

Basically, you enable the features with an environment variable and then add the users you want to the beta role.

Have fun!
