Perhaps do more. kompoz has the concept of following someone. This is a one way relationship and does not need confirmation/approval of the person being followed. (so, identi.ca calls it subscribing to someone and also doesn't need confirmation) I prefer the kompoz term in a musical context and I think we should show who I am following as well as who is following me as with identi.ca
that said, it might be a good idea to have friends as well and to require confirmation by both parties for this relationship. For this you just need to show friends. > (e.g. he's my "friend" / "kin" / "contact" / etc) Not a bad idea but i would need to rethink how my thoughts above would need to be modified if this were to be implemented. (I guess it is OK to require confirmation of the relationship??) drew On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 7:19 AM, Toby Inkster <[email protected]> wrote: > I've recently been doing some work on bug #26373 (i.e. that libre.fm > needs a groups feature) and am getting close to completion. > > After I'm finished with that, I plan to move on to bug #26371.
