[geeklog-devel] Fwd: [GSoC Mentors] Google Summer of Code 2013

[Tom]

Hmmm. That is something we will have to definitely look at. There is no
point reinventing the wheel if we do not have to.

For information there is a new session handler in the next glfusion [1]:

"We have implemented a new session handler that improves performance and
also improves the overall security of a glFusion CMS site. Each site visitor
is given a unique session id which is maintained while they browse your
site.  This change is invisible to the user, but really provides some cool
features for plugin developers.  The main thing folks will notice is
improved performance and scalability."

and a new subscription system:

"With glFusion CMS v1.3.0, we have implemented a core subscription system.
This allows users to subscribe to various types of content updates. For
example, user's can subscribe to Forum updates (i.e.; be notified anytime a
new post is made), or they can subscribe to receive comment updates.
Finally, they can subscribe to Media Gallery album updates.  Some of these
notifications already existed in prior versions of glFusion, but the cool
thing now is that all subscription management is consolidated to a single
interface. User's can now go into My Account and manage all of their
subscriptions in one place.
We've also made some imrpovements to the outbound email handling. We
understand that the new subscription feature can grow the amount of outbound
email, so we now try to optimize how email is sent to reduce system load."
