Archive the PubSubHubbub extension
Closed, ResolvedPublicRequest

Description

Reason:

The PubSubHubbub extension has been developed by two students in 2014 (Alexander Lehmann and Sebastian.Brueckner).

The intent was to create an internal push notification system, but it never get used in our architecture. We nowadays have change propagation which I guess would cover the need.

Anyway, @Lydia_Pintscher on T48525#1044776 explains how the extension is no more being worked on.

So I guess we should archive it. It can always be restored later on.

I note Extension:PubSubHubbubSubscriber was not archived; is that meaningful on its own?

Hello. The task only referenced https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PubSubHubbub. PubSubHubbubSubscriber was not mentioned. However https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-PubSubHubbubSubscriber only contains a .gitreview file as opposed to https://github.com/Wikidata-lib/PubSubHubbubSubscriber.

A glance over Ext:PubSubHubbubSubscriber's MW.org page suggests it isn't useful without Ext:PubSubHubbub; should it be archived as well? If so, should a new archival task be created, or should it just piggyback this one?
