Is doing PubSubHubub worth it ?

[Imtiaz Ahmed H E <in...@gmail.com>]

Please don't misconstrue me, I would have (and already started having) my usual ball doing it! 

But at http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/Companies
there are only a handful of companies who have advertised themselves as doing (supporting a hub for their feeds) it.

Of course, Ethan probably knows better...

What do you think ? Dick ?

Maybe there's lots of other stuff that would really help Esme. But, pubsubhubub is a really worthwhile api/concept in itself...

Hmmm, you're right, it looks like a Jira item doesn't exist for that.
Ok, I've created two Jira tickets in the backlog:

ESME-271 - Provide authenticated Atom/RSS feeds of timelines -
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ESME-271

ESME-272 - Pubsubhubbub-enable timeline feeds -
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ESME-272

I'm not sure if that's enough information, or even if they contain the
right design decisions. Let's discuss further on the list or in the
comments of the Jira issues.

Ethan,

Could you create the Jira item for authenticated RSS feeds with suifficient 
detail and let us know when you are done. I'm curious...

Re: Is doing PubSubHubub worth it ?

[Ethan Jewett <es...@gmail.com>]

I think we just need the authenticated RSS feeds first. Another issue
dependent on the RSS feed issue would make sense. I'll try to remember
to do it when I get home.

Agreed on it being in the Backlog, not 1.2.

Do we want to create another JIRA issue for Pubsubhubbub publishing?
Don't know whether it would be 1.2 though:

I think I'll just go ahead and do it and the rest of you can review my 
completed stuff and it's working in the svn pubsubhubub-2 branch and decide 
whether to go ahead and integrate with trunk or not.

I'll try to deliver quickly now!

Re: Is doing PubSubHubub worth it ?

[Ethan Jewett <es...@gmail.com>]

It's a good question - perfectly reasonable. As Dick mentioned, I
don't think that list is complete, but it's true that not everybody
has implemented PuSH.

In my mind, Pubsubhubbub is a nice-to-have at this point. It's
definitely not one of the highest priority items. It's something that
I was interested in implementing as an experiment and it would
immediately deliver some additional nice functionality in the form of
instantly updating actions and less server time spent downloading RSS
feeds every X minutes.

Longer-term, there are more interesting implications if we get
PuSH-enabled, authenticated feeds of ESME user timelines (with ESME as
a publisher and hub). Once this happens, it is another good way to
integrate ESME with other systems on a user-by-user basis. Eventually
it might be a way to federate ESME instances, but there are a lot of
complications that are not easily resolved, including what is done
about pools in this scenario and how authentication works (PuSH
authentication is not a very well-resolved problem).

So, that's just my partially-formed thinking on the topic. It was
pretty much a science-project for me that didn't get very far. I
definitely think of it as a nice-to-have rather than a "must-have".

If you want to see the business implications of it, look here:

Re: Is doing PubSubHubub worth it ?

[Richard Hirsch <hi...@gmail.com>]

There are some other companies not on the list but present in the
comments (RabbitMQ and status.net) - there are also some interesting
other possibilities (for example, linking it to xmpp (
http://grack.com/blog/2009/09/09/pubsubhubbub-to-xmpp-gateway/) or
this blog about pubsubhubbub and twitter
(http://blog.persistent.info/2009/08/twitter-pubsubhubbub-bridge.html)
Since we've already started the implementation, I'd really be
interested in continuing it but I'm open for discussions on the topic
as well.
