How to create new verbs or object-types

The process for creating a new verb (or object-type) for activity streams is modeled largely after the microformats process. 

  1. Ask why: develop or extract a real-world use case. solve the simplest problems first, and avoid compounding multiple problems. Ask folks on this list whether the idea has been raised before or search around for previous work. Always attempt to invent as little as possible.
  2. Document existing behavior: this is the first step of the scientific method and it helps to ground our work to what's actually being done. Collect as many examples as you can find, ideally from more than one unique source. Read more: http://microformats.org/wiki/why-examples
  3. Create the appropriate page(s) on the wiki using templates (see below).
  4. Iterate.

Add a new implementor

To list a new implementor, please do the following:

  1. Implementor page - Create a page named <implementor>-Activity-Streams that describes the implementation.  Some good things to include or link to are: Public announcement, documentation, example(s)
  2. List on Implementor-Scenarios - Please add the implementation (and link to the Implementor page) on the Implementation-Scenarios wiki page
  3. List on front page - Please also list the implementation (linking to the Implementor page) on the front page of this wiki

Create a new page 

Here are the steps for creating a new verb or object page:

Step 1: Name your page

 Step 2: Pick a template

Step 3: Put it the right folder
