#935: WebComment: add comments RSS feed
---------------------+------------------------

---------------------+------------------------
It is wanted to add a way to subscribe to the RSS feed of comments of a
given record, in a addition to the email notifications. The comment feed
of each record could for eg. be made available at URL:
{{{
http://localhost/record/97/comments/rss
}}}
The creation of the RSS would be made very simple due to the already
existing APIs to retrieve comments, and the storage of these comments in
MySQL tables in a consistent way. It might be needed though to remove all
existing HTML markup of the comments using the already existing washing
facilities.
It should be possible to cache the RSS output for each record somewhere in
{{{/opt/invenio/var/cache}}}
== Comment feeds of restricted records
Access to comment feed of restricted record could be made available thanks
to #806 Authenticated Invenio API. See also how Indico does export iCal
feeds of protected events http://indico-software.org/img/ical.png
== Comment feed of a collection
It might be useful to offer a feed aggregating all the comments of a given
collection. This would be heavier to compute, though perfectly possible if
cached (one feed per collection).
Further developments might also consider a collection feed aggregating
both records and comments, for an easier tracking of the changes in a
collection.
One could furthermore consider adding comment (+record) feeds for custom
search queries. In this case computation of the feed would be even
heavier, and less easily "cacheable".
== Comment feeds in baskets
The very same export should be added to comments (''notes'') submitted on
baskets. It would however seem more useful to offer comment feeds not on a
single record of the basket, but on the whole basket (as it could be done
for the feeds of a collection).
Access to restricted baskets could also be handled by #806 Authenticated
Invenio API.
