Re: Activity Streams Updated to Support 1.0

Eric et at...

A couple of things that I wanted to get on the table before I can vote +1 on 
activity streams:
1) I wanted to circle back on the OpenSocial specific extensions that I 
mentioned above, specifically, deliverTo: (or to:) and actionLinks. I've 
created a patch, uploaded it to Issue 1140 and applied it.

2) I think we should add a bit more introductory text around the linkage 
between the activity streams work and OpenSocial spec. This is also in the 
patch. 

3) We added a media link data type, but nowhere do we tie this back to media 
items. I think this is a gap. We either need to add the fields to media 
items as well, so that a media item CAN BE a media link, or some how resolve 
this.

4) We wanted to deprecate the existing activity work. I suggest we remove it 
from 2.0, or at a minimum, clearly mark it as deprecated in the spec. 

Please let me know your thoughts...

+1 to "to".

Agreed. The extent of the linkage certainly is not clear and there are
a number of inconsistencies between the two data models that folks
need to be aware of.. specifically in the base object type
definitions.

+1... media item like should be made an extension of the activity
stream media link.
