Resurrect chrome wave activity notifier #87

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Maybe i'm just overlooking something, but I don't see notification of 
Walkaround wave activity as an available feature or as something on the 
roadmap.  Resurrecting the Chrome wave activity notifier is all I have in mind.

Yuri made a version of the notifier that is compatible with Apache Wave:

It should be relatively easy to modify the walkaround server side to support 
the endpoints it requires.

I do not think that would be the best course of action.  As I said in the 
Apache Wave mail thread, the extension only works if the user is signed in all 
the time, and a better plan for the long-term might be to make walkaround work 
with data API-based notifiers like the one Google built.

Feel free to correct me if that would not be a better idea.

In this case, the advantage of building on the existing code, even if it's not 
perfect, is that it's less work than building something new.

Why is it a problem if the extension only works if the user is signed in?  
Walkaround should leave you signed in by default -- do you sign out manually 
every time you're done?

While I like to stay signed in all the time, I know people who do prefer 
signing out when they are done.

That said, you have a good point—using existing code would be easier and 
faster than building something new.
