+1 for pulling messages from those you are following on Twitter into
Laconica. Best feature I've heard suggested yet. However much I like
Laconica and want to use it for all my mublogging, it's where your
community is that matters and 90% of my community is happy to use
Twitter.

This is awesome.
What about pulling all messages from twitter, not just those that
are already on identica? I'd love not to have to check twitter
anymore.
One more idea... How about allowing people to specify a default
language and integrating google translator to translate messages to
the user preferred language?
Ahoy,

| Hi, folks. I wanted to post a quick roadmap for the near future
for Laconica. As has probably been obvious for the last six months,
I tend to fly by the seat of my pants, so the following is pretty
fluid. But I'll at least give an overview.
|
| First, once I figure out how to do it, I'm going to set up three
branches in the Git repo for Laconica. One will be for the 0.7.x
series, one for the 0.8.x series, and one for "trunk".
|
| 0.7.x will be the "stable" version of Laconica. It's going to
focus on the current functionality with bug fixes, performance
enhancements, and minor UI improvements. Here are some things that I
expect to happen in the 0.7.x branch:
|
an API for groups
commands for groups
|
Support for OAuth in the Twitter-like API
Support for using Twitter's OAuth API in the Twitter bridge
Support for the Twitter search API
Updating your status in Facebook updates your Identica status (2-way
bridge)
Offline queuing for inbox updates
Offline queuing for memcached invalidation
Offline queuing for Facebook updates
Offline queuing for Twitter bridge
An "official" Amazon EC2 AMI
Make the Javascript badge production-ready, and give instructions on
how to use it.
Translation updates
Code cleanup and documentation, trying for 0 phpcs warnings or errors
|
The "trunk" ("master") will be the production version of Laconica --
identical (!) to what we run in production on Identica. I will push
bug fixes directly to this branch (or cherry-pick from 0.7.x), and
on a regular basis (1-2 weeks) pull minor features or other changes
from 0.7.x.
|
| 0.8.x will be the "dev" version of Laconica -- major feature
updates, and major structural changes. My hope is to release 0.8.0
at the end of February or beginning of March. Here are some things I
expect to have happen in 0.8.x timeframe:
|
Support for a hosted service -- setting up a new Laconica instance,
editing the instance's name and theme and so forth. The actual
hosted-service code will be AGPL'd, but it may or may not be part of
the Laconica package (it just might not fit in with the rest of the
code, or make sense).
Multimedia sharing. This was supposed to be part of 0.7.x, but got
jettisoned. This will include an optional file-upload in the Web
interface, in-browser video and audio recording, posting with email
attachments, and an extension to the API for multimedia.
Support for "real" queuing systems -- our offline queuing system is
based on a homebrewed system that's pretty inefficient. I'd like to
abstract out queues and make at least two implementations: Homebrew,
and STOMP. This would also be a good time to make a more
hierarchical queue system, and support adding things besides notices
(like profile updates, dms, subscription notification, nudges) into
the queue.
Support for AIM. I'd like us to support AIM for notice input and
output.
Support for IRC. Ditto.
Privacy. We're going to have to deal with privacy at some point, so
it might as well be now. Private notices, private streams, and
private groups. This would probably also be the point at which we
deal with OMB notices' licenses (right now, we just reject notices
with incompatible licenses.)
|
OMB 0.2.
Statistics. As mentioned in a previous email.
Profile page theming. You can set the background and colours on your
profile page and other "personal tab set" pages.
Group page theming. Ditto, but for groups.
|
Initial support for hooks. The hooks system will be set up and some
simple hooks will be enabled.
More themes. Ideally I'd like to have 3-5 themes as part of our
tarball. Ideally we'd grab some free content layouts from OSWD (http://oswd.org/
), adapt them to the Laconica layout, and include them.
URL search. We'd extract the URLs from a message, longurlize them to
get the "canonical" url, and store the results. We'd expose an API
so that third-party users (especially commenting systems like
Tweetback) could search for notices that refer to an URL, and could
show them).
Conversations. Each notice that is a reply, or that has been replied
to, would include a link to a conversation page, which shows the
tree of notices that are in reply to each other (up to a "root" that
is not in reply to anything). You may be able to post replies in
that page.
PEAR::Auth for multiple authentication backends (like LDAP).
|
At some point as we're approaching 0.8.x release, we'd make an 0.9.x
branch and start dev of future stuff on there. To be honest, there
are only a few things I'd want to put in an 0.9.x branch: support
for the XMPP social PubSub system, support for MSN, maybe support
for Activity Streams. Possibly a calendar view of a user's profile,
a "delicious-like" view of posted URLs, and some more mapping
features. Many of these things could wait until after a 1.0 release.
|
| I'd really appreciate comments or suggestions here; this is my
current thinking and I could probably be convinced to change it
around.
|
| Also, I'll happily include other features and fixes as
contributions.
|
