So, what would it take to build a lightweight photo-sharing service like Flickr using StatusNet? I don't think very much. Since we allow file uploading, you could have a notice per photo (notice text provides the description), and "comments" would just be replies.

Here's my list of things that would make a FlickrLite with StatusNet workable:

   * File upload in the API.
   * Privacy? Sharing only with family, friends, or a particular group?
     Is that 100% necessary?
   * Marking each notice and file with license info? I think so.
   * In-line view of images.
   * Tagging others' notices? Could this work by just replying to a
     notice and including the tag?

Am I missing anything? This doesn't seem like rocket science. There may be some things that need to be done in core; others would work fine in plugins.
