Our main +goal is to provide a fair and transparent service that preserves users' autonomy. In +particular, all the software used for %%site.name%% is [Free Software](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software), and all the data is available +under the [%%license.title%%](%%license.url%%) license, making it Open Data. + +The software also implements the [OpenMicroBlogging](http://openmicroblogging.org/) protocol, meaning that you can have friends on other microblogging services +that can receive your notices. + +The goal here is *autonomy* -- you deserve the right to manage your own on-line +presence. If you don't like how %%site.name%% works, you can take your data and the source code and set up your own server (or move your account to another one). + +Where is feature X? +------------------- + +The software we run, [Laconica](http://laconi.ca/), is still in its early stages, +and many features people expect from microblogging sites are not yet implemented. Some important ones that are expected "soon": + +* More [AJAX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX)-y interface +* Maps +* Cross-post to Pownce, Jaiku, etc. +* Pull messages from Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, etc. +* [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/) integration +* Image, video, audio notices + +There is [a list of bugs and features](http://laconi.ca/trac/) that you may find +interesting.
