Goals/Feature List

For a more in depth look at what has been discussed please see this issue.

• As a user, I should be able to ask my select friends questions (see below) and get updated - information that I asked for.
• As a user, I should see my friends requests for information and be able to respond to that in a meaningful way.
• As a user, if I choose, I should be able to know who is asking for what information.
  • If I am ok with the default setting of "x(number) of your friends asked for an update" then great, however, if I want to know who is asking for what, I should have that option: "x, y, & z want to know what you are doing next Saturday"
• As a user, I should be able to see what others are asking my friends: "x has 3 friends that are wanting to know what he is listening to"
  • I should be able to add my name/number (x number of friends/names of friends) to this easily.
• As a user, I should not be given stale information. It should be "real time"
  • As a user, I should be able to define what period defines "stale"
  • If I ask for an update, you can show me what their most recent update was, but tell me how old it is, and notify me when they give an updated response: "The last time someone asked X what he was watching, he said he was watching star-wars. That was 4 days ago, asking him for an update."
• As a user, when someone asks me for an update, I should be able to give them meaningful content to interact with.
  • This should be specific to a question (youtube api, text-grabbing from articles, etc.)
• As a user, my interaction with Converse should be short, simple, and to the point.

More to come...
