[ckan-dev] RFC: Activity streams on-site and email notifications

Tue Oct 23 12:04:21 UTC 2012

Thanks Salman, yes we've had a ticket to make CKAN conform to the
activity streams standard for a while but it's not a high priority. We
weren't aware of the standard when we implemented activity streams in
CKAN, we discovered it afterwards, but our implementation was quite
close to the standard so I don't think it'd be too hard to make it
conform.
