Add on this page feature you really really want to see in identi.ca or StatusNet.

User-selected number of dents per page in the Web interface

• I'd like to see an option in the web interface for users to see more dents per page. Ideally I'd like the choice of 25, 50, 100 and 200 per page.

Broader/better federation

• make nicknames/tags clickable in remote notices

Replies

• in reply to should link to the post one really replied to, and not to the last one sent by that person. --March 17:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

It is suggested this is done in StatusNet 0.8.1.

Authentication

• ldap integration - there are some patches available that should be included into the codebase
• apache authentication - Use the REMOTE_USER variable to authenticate users and auto-create their accounts

Social networking

• Subscription recommendations - Like Facebook, propose users to subscribe to. If several of my subscriptions are subscribed to a user I am not subscribed to, the system should suggest him to me. suggestions could also include users whose most used words are similar to mine. Other heuristics can be thought up, but the ergonomics of the Facebook suggestion system seems a good start.
• Find your friends from other networks - Trawls your contact lists from sources such as Facebook friends, Twitter subscriptions or Google Contacts, look for them on status.net service and suggest them as subscriptions.

URLs

• Please reintroduce the display of long URLs while mouse-over short URLs. --March 18:51, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

• Ability to use ajax for easy use of openID or plugins from 3rd parties like http://www.gigya.com Authenticate users via Facebook, Myspace, Twitter or other OpenID provider to increase site registrations.

Misc

• Auto complete of @ names when typing a notice.
• Auto refresh the public timeline and allow the refresh period to be configurable.
• Some of those suggestions to make Twitter better could be applied to StatusNet: 10 features that will make twitter better --Payo 15:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
  1. Enable grouping of friends and followers
     • This suggestion seems to be for grouping your contacts the way you want so you can get filtered views of subsets of your subscriptions; StatusNet's current group feature works differently.
       • You can tag your friends, sort them by these tags and send notices to people tagged by you, maybe that is what you want? --Bavatar 05:02, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
  2. Auto Complete in Tweets
  3. Text links in tweets
  4. done Tweets-threading
     • A threaded view is implemented with the 'in context' feature
  5. Allow Tweets directed to a group of people ("group tweet")
     • We have the ability to send to other people in a particular group, but they have to join the group; you can't define your own group of contacts to send to. (see #1)
  6. Display meta data through hover tooltips
  7. Use the sidebar more effectively to display information
  8. done Add a page that displays tweets mentioning your username
     • StatusNet's replies page already works as suggested here.
  9. Highlight specific users, deemphasize others in feed
  10. done Add a Built-in URL shortener
      • Already done transparently for URLs that don't fit.

More subscription options

• Subscription to #tags

Federation options

• Maybe it's a choice, but i want same think than https://identi.ca/settings/twitter for Federation. Not only Remote subscriptions.
  • With an options to micro-blogging some tagged notice to another status.net. (no Hash vs. Bang in Fedration too)

Privacy

• It would be nice if there was a way to run StatusNet on a private network. That is, make sure things are not being broadcasted to the world, and only people allowed on the network can access it.
  • You can install StatusNet software on a private network.
• It would be good to have an option to have the feed hidden unless a user is logged in. Make it private.

RSS

• Publish the user name as author-property in RSS-items - currently, no author is given
