I'll make some tests with this approach.

Shouldn't the theme system provide it? I mean, we'll have to change
colors but images too.

Anyway, I've updated that profile screen hosted in my server. I've
removed that hot orange from the background.

Hehe, you just comproved my theory. It's hard to realize that it was a
way for reaching the player. That input with the "Listen to the freedom
songs" title is what I called player shortcut.

I don't know GNU Social deeply enough to understand how it handles
friends and groups system, but me, as a librefm user, would use my foaf
information provided by identi.ca.

These other non-free networks provides foaf? Or we'll have to write a
different software for each API? (Facebook proposed that open social,
does it work for what we want?)

I'm almost sure that these questions don't fit in this thread :P

Thank you! I'll do my best :)
