Hey Bill,<br>
<br>
How's the Ed stuff going. I've been checking in at DrupalEd.org and
watching your posts on the list, but am swamped with some cool stuff
happening over here in Hawaii.<br>
<br>
<b>Amazon Wishlist:</b> We're going to be building some proprietary
stuff (just because it would only be applicable for us) on top of
this, but I wanted to get a basic Wishlist API module so other people
could build off that. It looks pretty easy. There is a kick ass REST
service through AWS so you can just hit
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.awszone.com/scratchpads/aws/ecs.us/ListSearch.aws">http://www.awszone.com/scratchpads/aws/ecs.us/ListSearch.aws</a> put in
WishList for ListType and <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jeff@amazon.com">jeff@amazon.com</a> for Email and you'll see an
example. Just need a Drupal Wrapper API using drupal_http_request() to
get a list, etc. I've got a good handle on that one so I could probably
take most of that in the next couple days and send what I have to see
if you guys think something should be added.<br>
<br>
<b>Friend's Activity:</b> What did you think of my explanation on this
one? I'm thinking of more of a watchdog_user module or something that
will have a watchdog per user and then want to flush out the most
modular way to tell modules to log to watchdog_user on certain actions.
What is the best way to implement this in hook_nodeapi(),
hook_comment(), hook_buddy() need to extend Buddylist for this,
hook_taxonomy() for tagging notices, hook_votingapi() need to look into
this one more...Thoughts? This one needs more collaboration I think.<br>
<br>
<b>ACL-Buddylist integration: </b>I'm not even sure what I would want
to do with this one yet, so I'm going to defer this on my end.<br>

Rob,

<br>
We'd be glad to talk about the Amazon Wishlist, the Friend's Activity
block, and ACL-Buddylist integration -- RE ACL/Buddlist integration,
Mark Frederickson's aclfield code in his sandbox
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/aclfield/">http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/aclfield/</a>)
comes pretty close to getting this (and more!) done now --
<br>
<br>
Cheers,

<blockquote type="cite">Here are some current things I am working on
for a project. Wanted to post here to see if anyone is working on
something similar and was interested in working together:
<br>
<br>
* Amazon Wishlist integration
<br>
* Friends' activity block like Facebook: I'm still thinking about
<br>
this. We can easily get node and comment Views with Buddylist
<br>
like "My Friends' Recent Nodes", but we want an aggregated
<br>
watchdog-like list that has other stuff too "Your friend Joe
<br>
made friends with some user Rachel", "Some user Steve posted a
<br>
comment on some node of yours", "Your friend Joe posted a
<br>
comment on some other node", Voting, etc. I want to build this
<br>
as flexible as possible so it can be contributed back. A new
<br>
module that maybe uses Actions to perform a logging action on
<br>
certain user operations. Not sure if that makes sense. But it's
<br>
definitely like a watchdog log per user.
<br>
* Pulling facebook profile info in from the Facebook API
<br>
* Probably work on the Community Tags module for 5.x that was a
<br>
clean up of my huge Tagadelic patch a while back so users can
<br>
tag other users' nodes
<br>
* Doing some invite stuff, so extending or cleaning up
<br>
invite.module may be in order
<br>
* Maybe some ACL-Buddylist integration to allow friends to have
<br>
extra privileges (low priority)
<br>
* Want to do some FOAF stuff like LinkedIn to see how far removed
<br>
someone is from you (low priority)
