From dc09453a77f33c4dfdff306321ce93cf5fbd2d57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brion Vibber Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 11:06:03 -0800 Subject: First steps on converting FeedSub into the pub/sub basis for OStatus communications: * renamed FeedSub plugin to OStatus * now setting avatar on subscriptions * general fixes for subscription * integrated PuSH hub to handle only user timelines on canonical ID url; sends updates directly * set $config['feedsub']['nohub'] = true to test w/ foreign feeds that don't have hubs (won't actually receive updates though) * a few bits of code documentation * HMAC support for verified distributions (safest if sub setup is on HTTPS) And a couple core changes: * minimizing HTML output for exceptions in API requests to aid in debugging * fix for rel=self link in apitimelineuser when id given This does not not yet include any of the individual subscription management (Salmon notifications for sub/unsub, etc) nor a nice UI for user subscriptions. Needs some further cleanup to treat posts as status updates instead of link references. --- plugins/OStatus/README | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) create mode 100644 plugins/OStatus/README (limited to 'plugins/OStatus/README') diff --git a/plugins/OStatus/README b/plugins/OStatus/README new file mode 100644 index 000000000..cbf3adbb9 --- /dev/null +++ b/plugins/OStatus/README @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +Plugin to support importing updates from external RSS and Atom feeds into your timeline. + +Uses PubSubHubbub for push feed updates; currently non-PuSH feeds cannot be subscribed. + +Todo: +* set feed icon avatar for actual profiles as well as for preview +* use channel image and/or favicon for avatar? +* garbage-collect subscriptions that are no longer being used +* administrative way to kill feeds? +* functional l10n +* clean up subscription form look and workflow +* use ajax for test/preview in subscription form +* rssCloud support?
