[geeklog-devel] GSoC 2008: Core notification service

[Tony Bibbs]

Nope, actual emails, any related UI etc would be handled by a messenger plugin hopefully written by a well known 1.x developer. ;-)

Tony,
I would hope the core publish/subscribe mechanic does not handle 
emails in GL2. A system providing email services would sit on top of 
the core pub/sub system. The less going on in your messaging system 
the better. Similarly, this system should be multi-tiered.

OTOH, when I first read this proposal, my first thought was to 
backport the GL2 code. I've read it. It looks like it does all the 
core parts of this project perfectly. I just can't imagine GL1 
ripping out all the PLG_* calls and replacing them with 
ActionManager->notify(...).
