I'd vote for feeds for "hot" items (not knowing anything about programming part of it). Seems like that would make lots of intuitive sense to everyone on the receiving end. Its how I've been describing it -- and whatever we do, describing it is important, too. But I don't have a good alternative vision --

Will sites ping the server? Or will it just have feeds for "hot" items? Or is there an easier way to do this that my addled brain isn't coming up with right now? -Zack -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joshua Koenig Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 3:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Zephyr Teachout Subject: [developers] MetaDean NodeTracking Design Doc A first stab at a design doc for node-tracking MetaDean is here: http://www.hack4dean.org/phpwiki/index.php?NodeTracking If no one else does it, I'll hammer out a first-draft SQL schema over the weekend. The other big question now is where we're going to set up our sandbox. Note that when I talk about MetaDean from now on, I'm talking about tracking nodes/sites and content only, not talent. The talent stuff is going under the Visible Volunteer social networking tool (aka Deanster). Unless there are objections, of course. ;) cheers -josh ------------------------ Politics is the art of controlling your environment. Participate!
