Hi Chris,
I caught this mail by accident.
I was one of the original developers on the activity bundle (together with
Lance IIRC),
but all of this is over 2 years ago so I might recall things poorly.
The idea behind the activity feed was that widgets could push out there own
events.
Each activity would hold an app-id and a template-id.
A template would hold the structure of a message and the activity node itself
would store the actual data.
Something along the lines of how Facebook displays messages in your stream:
${name} commented on a photo.
Outside of a demo on a Sakai conference it never really got used in the UI (2
years ago!)
Cheers,
Simon
