Status.net Maintenance 25 February 2010 @ 9:00pm EST
Posted 1 week 6 days ago

Hello All,
Tonight, at 9:00pm EST we'll be performing site maintenance on the StatusNet Cloud Service.  All status.net-hosted sites (including Identi.ca) will be offline for a brief period during the upgrade. It is expected that there will be some performance degradation as we bring the site back online, and that it could continue through sometime around 1:00am EST.   As usual, we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this disruption in service might cause.

POLL: Character Limit on Identi.ca
Posted 4 weeks 6 days ago

One of the features of the StatusNet software has been that notices are limited to 140 Unicode characters, which (usually...) fits into a single SMS message, and which is the character limit for Twitter tweets. Some users love the limitations that 140 characters entail. Others find it unnecessarily restricting.
