A nice feature to drum up business for the site, but I think you guys really need to concentrate on getting some of these broken or inadequate features working before you can expect to see a mass influx of Flickr users. The main feature that is broken which really irks me -- and has done so since I came to the site -- is the fact that new uploads by contacts aren't showing up properly. This makes it very difficult to keep connected with those contacts you'd like us to bring here.... So, please, for the love of all that's holy.... FIX this darn feature.... Yes, the little bells and whistles are nice, but some of these more important features should really start to garner more of your attention -- especially since there are so few of you doing the work. The site has to be functional for folks before being pretty....
We also need a bit less rigid dealings regarding groups from you guys. Flickr users are used to the community aspect of the site... They can't hope to have that here because of the rigid control you guys hold over group management.
So, to sum up, while a nice feature..... The site still needs a lot of work behind the scenes before you can hope to attract Flickr users in any significant numbers --- especially after that fiasco about groups, spam, images in comments, and seen in comments which you allowed to get way out of hand to where Flickr refugees actually ended up going back to the site (and posting some comments about this site which painted it in a rather negative light).
Another point which I´m thinking about from time to time: Have you ever think about community-working - not about to build up a community, more like working at the code? Yes, of course, there´s an API and in this case you have to release the code to the public, and have to review the submitted if it should be inserted to the live - version, but what´s about if everyone can submit snipplets of possible improvements at the existent code of ipernity? Often I´m thinking about how great it would be if there was this and that, which would be possible to code in a few minutes (as I said, just small snipplets), but I won´t write for every piece a ticket and ask if you could implment this and that - because mostly it wouldn´t be this high priority in your eyes (and yes, there are some more important tasks which have to be done with priority)- but if it would be possible to code these small improvements by yourself, as possible suggestions to you (which you may include in your version if you like it). Of course if this will be done ipernity hae toset acode-license, so nobody can just host his own ipernity at his own server (but can view the whole code so own suggestions fit to it), and I´m not a license-guy, but there should be a fitting one for such tasks...?
Just my thought about these "We are just a small company"... your thought, too? You are, of course, but with many members who might love this site - and some of them may be able to do some small part by helping if they have some boringness between their own codings, like me (now, just yet). I don´t want to see my own code today anymore, I´m done with it. ;o) How refreshment it could be to do something other... for another project.
