Hi Lydia,
Thanks for providing the basic overview of this. Could you (or someone on the team) provide an explanation about how you would like this to be configured on the Wikimedia cluster?
We'd like to enable it just on Wikidata at first, but I see no reason not to enable it for all projects if that goes well.
The PubSubHubbub (PuSH) extension would be configured to push notifications to the google hub (two per edit). The hub then notifies any subscribers via their callback urls.
Is this something that you see anyone being able to subscribe to, or would this be something that would only be available to a limited list of third parties?
As far as I know, this is up to the hub to decide, but in our case, anyone could subscribe.
Note that users would subscribe to the hub, meaning users would expose their IP address to google. However, subscribing means registering your domain and callabck URL with google; the hub is supposed to push to the subscriber, so it needs the subscriber's IP in some form or other.
The subscription URL (at the google hub) is advertized on the HTML head of every wiki page (please correct me if I got the details wrong).
Also, based on our last conversation, it sounds like we're up against some time constraints here with respect to the students' time; could you clarify?
The project ends by the end of next week. Ofter that, it becomes less and less likely for the students to still be around. I of course hope they will be maintaining their projects for years to come, but if we want to be sure to get a quick response, it would be good to get this reviewed asap.
