Talk:Feed subscription

A couple of notes:


 * 1) I'd avoid using "blog" or "updated blog post" anywhere. Conceivably we could use this feature for other kinds of feeds, like images from Flickr (if they supported PuSH, of course).
 * 2) I think rejecting non-PuSH feeds is the only sane course of action for now.
 * 3) Is it unreasonable to merge this code with the extant PubSubHubBub plugin?
 * 4) If PuSH feeds are saved in the profile table, can we just have regular subscription rows for them? I think so.
 * 5) Will we need a remote_profile? I'm not sure, but I think some code may expect that if there's not a user row related to a profile then there has to be a remote_profile.
 * 6) Do we need to use the foreign_user table? Maybe a new table, push_profile, makes more sense.

Sticking with "feeds" for terminology keeps things easy... Note the PubSubHubBub plugin pushes pings from notice updates to a hub, so the two plugins are handling opposite sides of the protocol. They won't even share libraries. :) --brion 16:35, 18 November 2009 (UTC)


 * So far seems to do ok without using the remote_profile/foreign user tables... I'll have to dig around to understand just how all those work for later. :) --brion 05:18, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
