Hi All
Using the new Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping, I've added a new config option to openguides. If you set the option "ping_services" to be one (or both) of "pingerati" or "geourl", then it'll configure and register the ping plugin for these ping services.
When you write a node, the configured services will then be ping'd to let them know of the update.
If you don't have a "ping_services" option, or if it's blank, there will be no change for the current behaviour of openguides.
Currently, only pingerati and geourl are supported. I can't think of a good way to specify the urls in the config file, so openguides will accept any service defined in known_services of Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping . So, if you can think of more things you might like to ping, we'll add them in there, and then you can use them.
If you want to play, you'll need Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping from the Wiki::Toolkit svn, and the latest OpenGuides from svn.
