Add message board web service to announce testbed updates #26

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The basic idea is to add a message board web service to support a message
of the day kind of welcome message when a user logs in. This can be used to
give important information such as announcing testbed downtime or other
administrative changes.

To make this more generally useful, the message board should use RSS for
distribution. Overall testbed information and instructions (admin emails,
policy/focus etc.) can be given in the channel description and news items can 
have
embedded URLs etc. Since the RSS feed shouldn't necessarily have to rely on 
being
served on the testbed server (could be a static file) there need to be some 
kind of
discovery service where clients can retrieve information about testbed setup to 
make
upgrades to the testbed infrastructure (servers) more transparent for clients.

... so reschedule this for 2.0!
