It would be pretty cool if I could get not just cookies, but signed cookies, working in Pubstrate by the end of the day.

@cwebber@identi.ca I missed what pubstrate is. I'm guessing it's a Python implementation of the new activity streams protocol?

@Diane Trout Close! That's ActiviPy! (And there's an unpublished application named Pydraulics which uses ActiviPy to implement the ActivityPub protocol... I've talked about that a bit recently..)

Pubstrate (new repo soon) is the Guile implementation of both ActivityStreams and ActivityPub.

Too many terms! Too many projects! But almost all my energy is being poured into Pubstrate right now.

@Diane Trout Also, I think unlike most other federated social network web applications, Pubstrate should be really easy to be packaged in traditional distros. It's using autotools, and just a few not too complicated Guile libraries... I think getting it packaged for Debian / Fedora / Guix should be a snap.

FWIW, I didn't get what I aimed for done by the end of the day. Instead I implemented an rfc3339 module and tests. The cookie stuff is on its way. Good enough to feel good about. :)
