Re: [ecf-dev] Some of my ideas for contribution to ECF
|
Hi Scott
If you could provide information on the template provider
projects I'd really appreciate it.
Will these be (or are they already) part of the
documentation project?
Thanks
James

Hi
It's been a while since I've been properly involved in
ECF, but I've a few ideas that I'd like to run by the
list, to see if there's any interest/worth there.
A long time ago, Marcelo and I did some work on
Tweethub. Due to various reasons, we let is slide.
There's a few things I'd like to do to get that back up
and running. It doesn't connect to Twitter (there's a bug
logged for this already).
Also, it would be interesting to try and remove the need
for the Twitter4J library.
I think the Tweethub project could be the basis of an
interesting tutorial about how providers work, and how to
use them.
I think this is a great idea. Twitter is a great
example of a case where there still is a lot of desire to
create new/other clients (and integrating twitter
functionality into other kinds of applications), and
ECF's provider architecture can/does make this very easy
(in some cases trivial).
My understanding is that the reason the old twitter code
(test code) doesn't currently work is that twitter
changed to use the oauth authentication protocol for
login/access to the twitter API.
There are several OAuth impls for java...and so it
should be easy to use one of them for a twitter provider.
There might even be one in Orbit already (perhaps for
the E4 project's usage?). In any event, an OAuth java
library would/should be simple to integrate into/use in
an ECF twitter provider (such a provider does not exist
yet...but I think that would be the thing to
create....please let me know if pointers to ECF provider
template projects is desired...as they do exist).
Thanks,
Scott
