Matthias - what are some bits that need work on these plugins?
I also found a salmonpress plugin
http://code.google.com/p/salmonpress/
Wordpress still doesn't have a good way to manage all of the incoming
stuff for ostatus - that might be a really good place to start -
integrating all of this stuff into one good way to manage your info...
Or maybe writing a plugin that installs the whole bundle for you...

Ya, I did.

The host-meta and .well-known work Ok. There's nothing complicated about
that stuff.
The activitystreams code needs a lot of work since it make some
assumptions and only handles blog posts.

That plugin is an Ok starting point, but (and this is a big one) it
doesn't handle digital signatures. So there's no validation code in it
that works. Not sure what other issues there might be.

You guys might want to wait just a bit before you spend a lot of time
writing OStatus support for Wordpress.
I hear that such a cool set of code is nearly done, with complete
support for Ostatus and several other related technologies. Last I heard
something would be announced sometime in June, and it's now June :-)

Is there any work being done for a Wordpress OStatus plugin? If not, I'd like to take that up as a project for me and some other interested people.

Thanks!

Thanks again!
I anticipate the ActivityStreams plugins will need some plumbing with custom post types to provides other activities besides post.
Have you seen the P2 theme?
No post types, but the front-end is nice for this stuff.

I'm still very much in the research phase, but if you say so, great!
In my very simplified vision, PortableContacts are just a few extra xml elements containing profile info from a user.
The reality might be more complicated though.

Yea, I think bundling them is better, but that leaves us with a deployment issue.
I'll have al look at the installation hooks.
Since all plugins are GPL, would it be legal to add them as svn:externals and just tell users to upload them all?
Just recv'd notice of this:

Did you read the FAQ?
Mark
To be fair, I'm reading the site from my mobile, which didn't show the "Show menu" line at the top, where the FAQ was located.
The software is GPL licensed and is an extension to Wordpress.
