  2. Exporting data

    It would be great if mattermost allows to export all of user data(users, channels, message, ...).

    I think it is important to persuade my coworkers to start to use mattermost.

  3. Receive simple share from other apps

    Enable the functionality to allow users to easily share images directly from other applications (such as the gallery) to a channel Mattermos. I am a developer of mobile applications and have some experience with Android, I would like to implement this functionality

  5. XMPP support

    Support XMPP protocol, or at least a small subset of it.

    This will allow for the following:
    1) being able to use tested mobile applications while waiting for the development of a dedicated one

    2) the possibility of encrypted end-to-end conversations using OTP

    Incidentally, there is a mobile client called SecureChat that covers both cases and runs in iOS and Android :-)

    File sharing in a channel would be lost though, but recovering a file posted by someone else would be as easy as sending a message to the XMPP client containing a link to the file to be downloaded…

    Thank you for nominating the feature! It is now available in Mattermost 5.0!

    New installs of Mattermost v5.0 and later allow up to 16383 characters per post. Instances of Mattermost installed earlier than v5.0 will need to update to v5.0 or later and then run a manual database migration in order to utilize the higher character limit. This migration can be slow for large Posts tables, so it’s best to schedule this during off-peak hours. See important upgrade notes (https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/important-upgrade-notes.html) for more details.

    To migrate a MySQL database, connect to your database and run the following:

    ALTER TABLE Posts MODIFY COLUMN Message TEXT;

    To migrate a PostgreSQL database, connect to your database and run the following:

    ALTER TABLE Posts ALTER COLUMN Message TYPE VARCHAR;

    Restart your Mattermost instances.

  8. Add a way to integrate with Hubot

    We're starting to have a lot of Hubot scripts that we use with Hipchat, it would be cool to continue to be able to use them with Mattermost.

    http://forum.mattermost.org/t/hubot-integration/25

    There was some back and forth among designers about the risk of this feature being detrimental to the concept of a “team”.

    If a few people on a team need to talk about temporary topics like “New logo project”, or “Spring 2016 offsite planning”, it seems easiest for them to create a private group for the discussion and archive it when they were done (note: Channels aren’t ever deleted, all information is archived, so there’s no data loss issue: https://docs.mattermost.com/help/getting-started/organizing-conversations.html#deleting-a-channel).

    An option to restrict this feature could degrade the user experience. People would have to talk about niche topics inside other channels, distracting teammates who aren’t involved, or clutter the public channel list with overly narrow topics.

    Despite these problems, there’s a case to be made for large organizations where social policy doesn’t scale, so the option has been added to Enterprise Edition and kept the complexity out of…

  11. Integration with LDAP / Active Directory

    Posting from Kaushik Chakraborty's original request in old feature request forum:

    For Mattermost to matter inside enterprises, users should have ability to use their existing AD credentials for login. The profile management could happen like it is within MM.
    Creating sign-ups for large groups within an enterprise is a massive operational hassle and it would miss all the facilities / advantages of single-sign on.

    https://mattermost.zendesk.com/hc/communities/public/questions/203128089-Integration-with-LDAP-Active-Directory

    Also, additional requests for LDAP from GitHub discussion: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/78

  12. Support giphy integration as Slack does

    Giphy lets you search from the world's largest library of animated GIFs, making it easy to find and share them on the web.

    This integration will enable the /giphy slash command for your team. Search for a GIF using /giphy coffee time and the integration will display a relevant GIF in your channel.

  14. On login don't display teams if only one is available

    When login in mattermost it shows "Your teams" that I must select to go to "Town Square".

    If only one team is available, it should skip this screen and go immediately to that team's Town Square

  15. The displaying of @-mentions should follow "Teammate Name Display" setting

    We have a GitLab-Linked Mattermost Instance but our user database is an LDAP directory with alphanumeric keys as User-IDs. We cannot change our User IDs. While I know my user-id, I don't know anybody else's (and they don't know mine), so we get lost in conversations where people are mentioning alphanumeric user-ids back and forth.

    Once the message is posted, the displaying of the mention should follow the Teammate Name Display setting. So instead of "Hi, @usr523", we should see "Hi, @Bob".

  19. Add support for sending message to multiple users without creating a channel/group

    Sometimes you need to send message to an intersection of ppl groups or just part of a group. Right now one has to create a channel/group with the people you need and post there. Everytime for every different group of people. The feature could work pretty much like private messages, just allow to multi-select the users before sending the message
