[Feature Request] XMPP: Post to PubSub

[sjehuda]

Greetings!

In XMPP, using PubSub(1) (XEP-0060), it is possible to store posts as Atom Syndication(2) entries into XMPP(3).

There are several XMPP extensions that apply it, namely XEP-0227 (4) and XEP-0472 (5) which make node urn:xmpp:microblog:0 as a common choice to manage news for client accounts (e.g. [email protected]), yet a component account (e.g. pubsub.getzola.org) may use all of its nodes for this purpose.

pubsub.getzola.org/
|
|-- updates/
    |-- Sombre
     `-- Varied
|-- releases/
 `-- events/
pubsub service/
|
|-- node/
    |-- item
     `-- item
|-- node/
 `-- node/

A Rust library that can be utilized would be xmpp.rs.

I have made a script that realizes viewing PubSub node items as Atom XML feeds over HTTP.
