I'm sure many of us have written such systems in the last 8 years, so presumably there is some prior art here. Does anyone know of existing "standards" we could leverage, preferably *very lightweight* ones?
As an example, Gregor's suggestion to use RSD (really simple discovery) was perfect.

Greetings!
It was planned to talk about a common approach to content update notifications across different CMS systems in the OSCOM Sprint. Unfortunately there was no time for bigger discussion, but we talked about it with Paul.
The idea was that different documents could be given list of URLs to notify. Then when the content in that document changes, it would make a GET query to all of those URLs.
The receiving URLs could be doing anything:
* Update notifications sender by email or SMS * Search engine reindex script * Syndication update script
Probably the GET query would include information about the document in some format, but this could be decided when registering the URLs. Something like:
http://www.site.com/notifications?url=http://www.oscom.org... http://www.site.com/mgd_notify?id=123&table=article
or whatever.
If this is the way we want to handle update notifications, we would first need to add hooks for making these get calls in our CMSs whenever something is saved.
The next phase then would be to figure out way for systems to automatically subscribing to notifications about a particular piece of content. Maybe a HTTP PROPPATCH query would be good here.
Ideas? Comments? The point with this idea is that it should be fairly easy to implement across all/most Open Source CMSs without major changes.
