Re: [developers] MetaDean NodeTracking Design Doc

Looks good Josh ... I want to 'push' into the aggregator. I know that's 
an oxymoron, but hang with me for a minute.

All of our Drupal powered sites are well equipped to 'call home' and 
report their RSS URL(s) or other content to the home base. I think this 
'push' functionality will help populate the database significantly.

If MetaDean publishes an interface for pinging it, I can code the Drupal 
'push' in a dean.module which will ship with our standard distro. If you 
want a model for an interface, may I suggest the widely known 
weblogs.com interface [1] . A benefit to re-using this interface is that 
Drupal and other blog implementations already know how to ping it. They 
should simply ping our domain instead of weblogs.com
