doc/todo/salmon_protocol_for_comment_sharing.mdwn



The Salmon protocol
provides for aggregating comments across sites.  If a site that syndicates
a feed receives a comment on an item in that feed, it can re-post the
comment to the original source.

Ikiwiki does not allow comments to be posted on items it aggregates.
So salmon protocol support would only need to handle the comment
receiving side of the protocol.
The current draft protocol document confuses me when it starts talking
about using OAuth in the abuse prevention section, since their example
does not show use of OAuth, and it's not at all clear to me where the
OAuth relationship between aggregator and original source is supposed
to come from.
Their security model, which goes on to include Webfinger,
thirdparty validation services, XRD, and Magic Signatures, looks sorta
like they kept throwing technology,  at it, hoping something will stick. :-P
