[melkjug-dev] Simple Win - Friends' Starred Items

[Randall Leeds]

It seems like it'd be a quick win and our first useful action on the
follow/following graph to provide a 'starred by people i follow' feed.
Currently you can add someone else's starred items feed to your jug
explicitly (though the feed search shows their titles as "Melkjug |" -
should fix?), but I think it'd be a nice thing to have baked in and probably
pretty easy to whip up.

Thoughts?

Have a look in
http://oss.openplans.org/melkjug/browser/melk.model/trunk/melk/model/ratings.py--
there's already a "NetworkStarRatingService" filter, it's just
currently
turned off. Luke, is that just waiting for #422 users should have uris which
persist across registration <http://oss.openplans.org/melkjug/ticket/422> to
get resolved before it can get turned on?

No, it's too slow currently.

Sorry, you're talking about a feed of *new* items in your jug from
followers' starred items, not a filter promoting *existing* items in your
jug that followers have starred. I agree, having a baked-in link for that
would be a quick win. I'll see if we can't get some design feedback for it
before I go ahead and whip it up.

Do you guys have any opinion on the interaction design for a "add a feed of
all your friends' starred items to your jug" link? Presumably it should only
appear for users who are actually following people already, for instance...

[Luke Tucker]

For including it inside another jug, I think a checkbox would do? "include
my friends starred items" or whatever? This could also be exposed as a top
level "preset" like your own starred items.

Meanwhile, we'd also have to add a controller action to aggregate the
starred items of all the users a given user is following and publish them as
an atom feed (sorted by... dated starred? or date of article? the first is
maybe more interesting but are we recording that yet?). Anyway I'll put a
ticket in for it.

(sorted by... date starred? or date of article? the first is maybe more
interesting but are we recording that yet?)

looks like documents like buckets/*username*/starred/items/* have a
creation_date field, so yes i presume.

Anyway I'll put a ticket in for it.

This would be nice to have. You could probably hack together some sort of
subclass of composite whose feed list is always the starred buckets of the
users that are being followed by their internal uris (as opposed to
subscribing to the feed externally and then fetching from self etc.)
