nano editor
Some of us prefer nano over vi. It can't be that big of a deal to include nano in the container, can it?

allow per-user settings for showing links inline or not, ideally per content type
from https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1983, While it can be nice to have links to images, youtube videos, etc. that display inline autoexpand to the media that they link to, it would be extremely useful to have a way to turn that off, so that you just get a link instead of losing a massive amount of chat because of the inline media block.

Adding the posting user to the post markup, to enable filtering
posted in http://forum.mattermost.org/t/marking-posts-with-the-user-who-posted-it/912, was told to post it here instead:
I've been playing with mattermost a bit and noticed that posts are not currently marked as having been posted by a specific user - the only element inside a post that identifies the poster is the UserProfile component deep inside the post component tree, so it would be very nice if a component tagged its top with a class like "post__wrapper " for easy chat log filtering: some things that this would unlock:
- hard/soft ignore lists
- hard/soft 'never miss...' lists
- hiding everyone-but-X posts to find information in the backlog

email notifications for new messages and for channel joins look alike and have a similar email notification subject
This behaviour leads to that one could not see at first sight which type of message the notification was for, because the email subject is always "New Mention on...".
It would be more informating and appropriate to choose a email subject that makes clear at first sight which kind of mention the notification is about. (channel join, user disabling, mention, etc)
In my opinion a channel join is no mention in sense of a new message. There is a difference between a new message and other System activities and this should be clear withing the notification email.
Maybe ist reasonable…1 vote -
include a Trace option in the logging modes.
We were having an issue that was causing Mattermost to continually crash for no apparently reason. Nothing was consistent in the log files, debug didn't give enough information, heck I even did an strace on the PID and wasn't able to get anything useful. A Trace option should include DB calls, perhaps a transaction ID to link the API call to the DB call...

Add user_real_name to outgoing slash commands or webhooks
An outgoing /slash command from mattermost sends information including the token, userid and username in the POST.
We would also like to see userrealname in the POST, without having to do another API call.
For example:
channelid=cniah6qa73bjjjan6mzn11f4ie&
channelname=town-square&
command=/somecommand&
responseurl=not+supported+yet&
teamdomain=someteam&
teamid=rdc9bgriktyx9p4kowh3dmgqyc&
text=hello+world&
token=xr3j5x3p4pfk7kk6ck7b4e6ghh&
userid=c3a4cqe3dfy6dgopqt8ai3hydh&
username=freddy
userreal_name=Fred+Smith1 vote -
Display extended message preview on hover
When you hover a reference to an existing message (such as where one has been quoted in a thread), it would be neat if, when you hover the pointer above the abridged message preview, you could see the full text. This would save a click or two.

Add a system console option to set whether team admins can make a team open
Currently there is an option to restrict team creation. It would be nice to have the option where we let team admins create teams, but restrict open teams to system admins only

Limit matches for @ completion to users in the active channel
With a mattermost setup with hundreds of users, you get a lot of username matches when you type @, however if you're in a channel with only a small subset of the hundred users, you still need to narrow down the list by typing in more characters than necessary to match the name you want. For improved efficiency the list of users to match against shoulld be limited to the users currently on the channel.
This limit should of course not be applied if you are doing /msg @someone, and possibly not even when you mention @someone somewhere inside your…

no character length of name when display is set to "real name"
Now it is set to 24(?)
For example "Mansoor Nahasapeemapetilon" would be displayed as "Mansoor Nahasapeemapetil..."
There is enough space to display the whole name.

Make build process easier
At the moment you have to configure the build environment to build the package. I'd suggest to create one script which will do the job without any configuration on almost all Linux environments.

A way to tell web hook is coming from matter most.
I hate having to have multiple repos, one for slack and one for mattermost. Would be nice if post coming in would tell me it's coming from mattermost.

Welcome message for new users
It will be nice that upon entering a team, a welcome message is displayed to that user. Message can be composed on the Team Settings or perhaps in the console.
In the message an admin can point out custom slash commands or any new feature that needs to be highlighted.
User can save the message (just like any other) for future reference is desired.1 voteWe have an APR ticket for this feature which can be tracked here: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/PLT-1262

CTRL+F performs a browser-like search in the desktop app
One missing piece in the desktop apps is CTRL+F browser-like search.
There is a plan to implement 'search in current channel' (https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/305), but implementing the browser-like find feature is closer to the web app experience
There is existing electron APIs for finding something on the page: http://electron.atom.io/docs/api/web-contents/#contentsfindinpagetext-options

import multiple slack communities at once
I am on over 20 Slack communities. Adding each one one at a time to my mattermost apps will be slow and error prone.
Add a way to read my config from running slack apps, and/or discover all the slack communities a given email address is a member of, and import them all at once to the Mattermost apps.

Add a repository for the contents of your website.
I noticed some errors on your website, mostly typos and small improvements that could be made. It would be cool if I could just send a pull request on GitHub/Gitlab.

Allow Mattermost Zapier app posts to contain PDF attachments
Currently Mattermost doesn't support file attachments in Zapier posts, This can be useful when using the Zapier app to generate automated posts containing PDF files.
This feature is also supported by HipChat and Slack, so it would be nice to see Mattermost support it as well.

Use correct typographical symbols for all user-facing strings such as curly quotes for apostrophes (‘’) and quotes (“”)
Use correct typographical symbols for all user-facing strings such as curly quotes for apostrophes (‘’) and quotes (“”).
You should also avoid other typographical mistakes like n-dashes (–) and ellipsis (…) characters.

Make switch channel more intuitive
If I open the switch channel dialog and begin to type the beginning of a name for which several entries exist, then this list is ordered alphabetically and does not take into account open chats with people.
This feature is only useful if you want to speed up navigation. I expect the dialog to show open chats before others so you dont have to navigate in the list to select the correct entry.
