Here was my reasoning 1- PubSubHubbub is gaining momentum so I would rather make it a little bit more generic than dilute it's effort releasing an alternative. 2- PubSubHubbub and Activity Streams are closely promoted and we are moving away from Atom being the core serialization for activity streams because it makes the response more complex than it needs to be... think of activities such as liking, rsvping to events, friending even status updates are way more verbose than they need to be. 3- We have been discussing some of these changes in this community for a while: synchronization, authentication, http based discovery I am just grouping them together so we could release an iteration of the spec that supports a concrete use case
What do you think ?

Something like allowing arbitrary data formats, for example, wouldn't work in the current model where the hub parses the feed and only sends the differences. One of the strengths of PuSH (relatively speaking) is that it's a fairly simple protocol, and works well in a specific use case. I feel like a lot of the suggested extensions would complicate the protocol disproportionately to the gains that would be made. --Ravi On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 8:48 PM, Monica Keller < <[email protected]> [email protected]> wrote: > Guys I just posted a proposal for a new revision to the PubSubHubbub > spec which includes looking beyond Atom, synchronization and > authorization. > > Let me know what you think > <http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/Pshb_OAuth2> > http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/Pshb_OAuth2 > > > > On May 12, 5:04 am, Pádraic Brady < <[email protected]>padraic.br > [email protected]> wrote: > > Great!
