Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

PROBLEM

An inconsistency in Gwibber's formatting wherein #hashtags and @replies are turned into links, in its display of Identi.ca streams, but !community mentions are not.

HOW TO REPRODUCE

1. Use Gwibber to post a status update on Identi.ca which includes the !tag of a community you belong to. !aliases work for purposes of bugtesting also (Identi.ca allows community administrators to assign multiple aliases to !community names).
2. Note that while @replies and #hashtags are automatically turned into links in your Identi.ca stream, the !community name is not.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Everything that would be a link on the Identi.ca web app itself will be a link in Gwibber.

Right : Hashtags # work very well on identica and twitter with search tab. But on identica, there is also an option for groups :
http://identi.ca/group

Name of group has a ! before. Example : if you subscribe to Ubuntu group, when someone post a message with !Ubuntu, you will receive it even if you are not following his timeline.

This part works well in Gwibber, I receive all the messages from the groups I have joined.

But contrary to the #hashtags, !groups are not clickable links and do not allow to do a search in identica groups.

According identi.ca support, there is no group search api end point right now

http://status.net/open-source/issues/2876

So, question is : if a word has a "!" just before it without space between them (like !gwibber), is it possible to make it as link and redirect to :
http://identi.ca/group/gwibber

If group does not exist, this will display an error message "Not found"

If yes, it would allow to subscribe easily to a group on identica web page.
