I don't. And I'm the developer. So mine's the only opinion that matters :-)

If you'd like LinkedIn support, or any other network, some help with the triaging and issue management would be appreciated.

In particular, https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6533 needs to be resolved as INVALID (as Andre points out, one issue per issue); new enhancement requests for each service need to be created (and ideally a comment added to #6533 pointing people at the correct issues for each network) and then people vote on it. This'll allow me to prioritise the work.

When raising an enhancement for a social network to be added, the following info would be useful to include:
  • Generic or friends oriented? i.e. is it a service which will provide information for anyone (such as Gravatar) or one where you have your own friends (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter)
  • URL: Homepage of the service. Saves me a Google :-)
  • Developer API: does it have one? If so, the URL to its documentation would be fantastic.
  • Fields supported: what fields from this service would be useful (assuming the API exposes them)
  • Identifier: the main identifier which'd link a user in the address book to a profile on this service.

Given the passion expressed in these different posts, I look forward to it translating into some assistance :-)

I asked for MySpace support and got responses of "irrelevance" and "outdated". MySpace is much bigger and more popular than LinkedIn, so be prepared to have to campaign and convince. Some guys don't get that all of these networks serve a purpose.
Given I've not spoken to you, this is practically disparaging and is certainly discouraging. What anyone else said about MySpace isn't important; however if you can provide as much of the above information as possible in a new Bugzilla entry, it's more likely to be done :-)

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
