Crosspost to Facebook Notes

Title:
Crosspost to Facebook Notes

Area:
crossposting

Summary:
The crossposter sites option should have an option to "push" notes into facebook.com.

Description:
Facebook.com currently has a Notes feature. You can point it at a public RSS feed to import notes, but that fails to re-import edited notes.

I would prefer to "push" notes into facebook via the crossposter, so that edited notes show up correctly etc.

That may or may not be technically possible to do with facebook's note posting. I suspect it would require some reverse engineering of facebook page code etc.

There are complications around posting security - facebook does actually have the concept of custom posting security, and an extra "friends of friends" level.

Also I'm pretty sure there's no way to prevent comments on a note within facebook, so this option may be problematic.

Community points

Title:
Community points

Area:
communities, points, great ideas that could go badly wrong

Summary:
It could be interesting to allow communities to receive points, and to allow community admins to distribute points belonging to the community.

Description:
So yesterday I decided to hand out a few of the points that I happened to have on hand, and since it was related to a community sort of thing, I wondered if it would be possible to hand them out through the community. Of course, I then learned that one can't do this through a community -- one may only give points to an active personal journal (which, incidentally, means no giving points to OpenID users).

This could be great if people wanted to give points to a community to perhaps contribute toward a paid community, or for the administrators of that comm to give out as they saw fit, say to community members who contributed to the community, or as prizes, or what have you.

This could be seriously problematic, of course, if one admin of the community saw fit to transfer all the community's points to one of their spare accounts in the night and run overseas (or at least stop answering their e-mail). Or give them all to a friend. And when real money gets involved, drama can be right behind sometimes.

Do the possibilities for good outweigh the possibilities for evil?

Title:
Subscribe to comments only on posts with specific tags

Area:
comment notifications

Summary:
Allow community administrators (and/or paid users site-wide) to subscribe to posts with specific tags.

Description:
Notifications are, in general, incredibly helpful, especially for community administrators, and the recent expansion of notifications to community-wide comments is a terribly useful enhancement. But sometimes, even as an administrator, you don't need to see every comment posted to the community -- but you do need to see comments on posts with tags related to community administration, for example, or policies or procedures, or even just a specific tag where you can discuss community issues with your fellow mods.

To this end, could we add the ability to subscribe to comments by tag, similarly to how you can currently subscribe to posts by tag, to the tracking options? It could start out, as the "comments on all posts" option did, on the community (admin?)-only level, and if it's neither a server nor financial drain, could possibly ultimately expand to paid users for individual journals (where I could see it being useful for things like comment ficathons, meta posts, people you only share a few fandoms with of many, people you know IRL but don't share fandoms with...the sky's the limit!).
