Since Drupal only pings pingomatic now, and pingomatic supports extended pings, this change might be as simple as migrating to using extended pings only.

yep. One thing, though. We have many, many different RSS feeds in Drupal, and that's what an extended ping does: notify which RSS feed is related to the new/updated post. So, how to handle this? If a node is updated, you have several cases: 1. node is promoted and part of the main node/feed 2. node is part of one or more taxonomies and/or special feeds (blog/feed, blog/x/feed, article/feed, etc.) -- all associated feeds are updated 3. node is not part of a taxonomy or special feed -- node is updated, but no notification is sent (note: in the past, I hacked in a tracker/feed that showed ALL updates/comments/etc. -- which would catch this case) But in general...yes, Drupal should be sending extended pings to Ping-o-matic. -- Boris Mann http://www.bryght.com Vancouver 778-896-2747 / San Francisco 415-367-3595 IM boris_mann@jabber.org / SKYPE borismann
