(Po Angielsku, bo tak wygodniej / For usability purposes this site is in English, hope this isn't any issue.)
UI/gfx/usability track
New skin
based on: Diabook
proposed name: Frihaka
mind dump - features
registration
ItemOpenID should be moved to separate tab, it's confusing for those who don't know what OpenID is, those who use it, will click there for sure :)
tips / suggestions
cleaner interface
language selection (automatic, based on User Agent String, with user override)
login
main UI after login
options in one place, integrate: language, settings, help, tips, archives)
powered by Friendica - SVG
easy to set logo
remove “Find friends” - friend suggestions instead
move “Connect services” to settings
remove New & Shared Links
remove “Save” button present under posts
Post Photo is almost Post Text → merge them
creating posts
make 'Share window' more visible
categories below the text field, would be awesome if #hashes typed in text field appear in 'categories' automagically
make Preview better visible
“Media” should be merged into one menu
Geolocation should be a bar with info about current location with (“X”) to remove it
better visibility for publish and permissions
more granularit and visibility for groups and persons
“lock” is small, easy to miss, the purpose is not clear
connected services, possible services
set permissions, clear info about current state:
making friends
tagging and community wall
FIX TAGGING AND COMMUNITY WALL DISPLAY!
hard to find - can't tag people's post on their pages, but you can on your own wall.
To enter the Community Wall you have to:
click the 'wifi symbol' ;) on the top bar (Conversations from your friends);
click the Friends checkbox on the left panel (as opposed to Everyone)
Rysiek states that lack of tagging is caused by lack of feed update? Which should update automatically, but doesn't;
Global TODO (ui/gfx/usability)
-
-
text editor (share, comments, etc) - Bold text, italics, underline, should not be displayed as symbols in text (vide forum codes, [b]txt[/b] for bold) but actual changes to text by default.
programming/admin track
-
we've focused on existing connectors to closed (but popular) media services:
Twitter and
Facebook;
Facebook
Working
Not working
(fixed) after initial 'sync' we stopped receiving updates from Facebook, as it has quickly turned out, there's a cron job needed for (not only) that - remember to enable this cron job on each Friendica instance;
Image sharing
if you post image on Friendica, there's a clickable link posted on Facebook - that's not so great but acceptable;
However, if you add a picture to your Friendica album, and then decide to 'share' it, on Facebook you receive a weird grey rectangle - clicking on this won't show you the image at all;
this may be caused by Frika's way of dealing with photo posting -
AFAIK there is a different system for photos, that lets you crop the photo, input description, etc, and the code it spits out may be incompatible with Facebook.

Not working
We were not able to use the connector at all;
