hey steve (and all), The primary problem with the current feed system lies in it's inability to preserve state due to it's dependency on the associated object. In order to remedy this, a status column was proposed. This is a good short term fix, but I don't think it is best for the long run. What I am currently working on is not a modification of the current system but a new system altogether. Back when i initially wrote the feed system I didn't plan it out to well (sorry about that) and as a result, it has a pile of issues including feed_item.partial. The new system does not deal with the associated object directly. It uses a version of that object that gets cached at time of creation which preserves state. With this type of a system, no status column is needed and each friending will exist as a separate event. Also, the system provides textual title and description methods . Also, Steve and I talked about the possibility of view caching or allowing simple view helpers such as link_to which is still open to debate. All in all, it would remote the issue of status as well as trying to pull a partial on NilClass. The models are done (with the exception of view stuff since I'm still debating that) and I am hoping to have a branch with it available within the next week for people to look at and talk about.
