After you guys are done with 2009, How will you play out 2011/2012? Those versions have facebook integration and was wondering how you will figure out the idea of the social platform working. If you can’t keep the facebook integration, then make it another place where the forum an be accessible through there and not only the web browser.
It would be a really nice if you could keep it, though.
Anyway, if you can respond i would be glad if you could.
Thanks!
Seeing as Facebook integration was done completely on the server side without (from what I can guess) any API involvement, that would be impossible. And sadly Facebook doesn’t offer such APIs anyway, so it’s best to leave it unimplemented.
And what do you exactly mean by making the forum “accessible through there”? You mean making the PM feature integrated through 2011/12? Sounds like an interesting idea, and it might be possible, granted that Discourse isn’t too restrictive with its APIs and that WLM wasn’t hardcoded to only support Facebook and LinkedIn chat integration.
I don’t even think you can message people from Dropbox and there’s no such feature on GitHub. However, I know YouTube has a private messaging feature, but the last answer still applies. I’d have to see if it isn’t too complex to integrate and also see if it’s possible within the client.
