[Bristolbathpm] RSS Feed Actions

[Paul Makepeace]

FWIW, take a look at Google's GData APIs; they're based on Atom and I
think provide what you're after:

Overview: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/overview.html
Actual example: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/basics.html

Not necessarily to use them but they might give you some ideas of how
to encode your actions. That said, if you do want to use them I think
Simon Wistow has done some GData stuff with Net::Google::Calendar(?).
If you get anything working in Perl I'm definitely interested as I was
toying with storing some stuff in a spreadsheet :-)

When an action happens it is stored as a 'perceptron' which is a frozen perl object that gets stored into a 'trail' of events and actions of different types (email, chat, shell command etc). Actions land in your personal trail and can link back to the channel where you made it.

The perceptrons fall into channels which means you can stay focussed - that's the theory - so far it's been working for me and my small company but I'm planning on sharing the system and RSS is one way to publish the perceptrons.But that's only part of the story -- I also need a way of adding actions and was wondering if there is an standard out there. If not, then HTML forms in the payload of the RSS should work.
