Glen Mazza closed ROL-1147.
---------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I don't see Technorati playing the major role it used to when this item was
opened in 2006.
> Technorati/Roller Improvement
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: ROL-1147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1147
> Project: Roller
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Web Services
> Reporter: linda skrocki
> Assignee: Allen Gilliland
>
> 1. Notification/Pinging:
> - we want to get BSC/Roller blogs pinging Technorati by default
> - a future alternative to pings is to use an atom based update service
> where we would actually send updated content to Technorati rather than ping
> them to fetch the content themselves.
> Need to tweak ping code to allow a site admin to 1) modify ping settings for
> all weblogs at a time and 2) enable pings to be automatically enabled.
> scope: a few days of work
> 2. Parsing:
> - our default templates are not generating great html
> - we should try and update templates/themes to be html or xhmtl compliant
> - we should add atom auto discovery in addition to rss auto discovery links
> - we should add a Roller generator meta tag for better tracki
> - clean up the themes. scope: a week?
> - add auto discovery and generator items. scope: a day.
> 3. Tags: - Once Roller has tags support we would like to be able to link our
> tags to external tag spaces like Technorati, likely via a plugin of some sort
> technorati tag plugin. scope: couple days?
> 4. Member API:
> - to truly enable users to get a benefit out of Technorati they need to
> register an account and claim a blog, which is currently done manually there
> is a new Member API in development would allow trusted clients to register
> accounts on the behalf of their users
> - with the Member API we could automatically create Technorati accounts for
> our users (or at least instigate the process) and then associate that
> Technorati account info with a Roller profile.
> - this Member API will also allow us to query for interesting info about a
> user/blog which we can reuse on our site.
> Technorati part: finish up the API and tell us how it works. scope: ??
> Roller part: code up a way to use the Member API. scope: a week?
> 5. Microformats
> - we should try and use microformats wherever possible.
> - in particular, consider hCard microformat on new profile directory pages.
> Roller part: make sure new profile directory uses hCard. scope: unknown
> Tthis work is something that we can make part of the existing RFE to add a
> user directory and profiling page. shouldn't be much extra work to do this.
> 6. Syndication/Widgets:
> - Technorati offers a little javascript widget that can pull info about a
> blog from Technorati and display it on a weblog.
> - it would be cool for Roller to have some kind of macro that knows how to
> insert that widget *if* the user has a Technorati account defined in their
> profile.
> Maybe Roller wants this macro in the core build. scope: a day
> 7. Favorites:
> - we can add some kind of link/widget that allows people to "add this blog
> to your Technorati vorites"
> - at some point we may have a way to query Technorati for a users favorites
> and allow them to be displayed on the weblog.
> 8. Search:
> - we can offer an additional search option which allows for doing a blog
> search on Technorati.
> - we can possibly offer a plugin/macro that creates a "who links to me"
> pointer to Technorati to see how a blog/entry are being read on the net.
