Activity module was created for just this purpose. http://drupal.org/project/activity

It doesn't utilize the node system, however, and therefor you can't comment upon recorded activity, which was part of your request.

I also have heard that you can have this sort of functionality with workflow-ng in D5, but again, not sure that you can comment on activity there either. Just throwing some ideas out there for ya. Would love to hear what you eventually decide upon!

Heh, sometimes that works. Sometimes is just means there's some code. ;)

Heartbeat seems interesting, though it's dependence on Rules makes it hard to backport to Drupal 5 (which I'll need) and it's got some internal classes that I don't entirely grok yet.

It also doesn't make use of nodes, speaking to my initial question.

I think I'll repost to the Social Networking group and see what I can stir up. :)

That's what I love about Drupal -- every time I think to write some code, I turn around and someone's already done it for me. :)

Excellent!

I knew this had to have already happened. :)

I'll dig into this and at least post a link here if I get into the discussion, etc. If it all looks good I may bang out a 5.x backport.

cheers

Read this (very) long discussion on g.d.o on activity streams:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/15088

Heartbeat is the module that's resulted from that discussion and looks promising.
http://drupal.org/project/heartbeat

I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on this subject as I'm about to implement Heartbeat on a site I'm working on.
