Am likely to refactor the blogentry-alert code to introduce some sort of shared "Alert" concept. Will probably go ahead and make them model objects in anticipation of having to store them for the digest version.

[Chris Rossi (chris-archimedeanco)]

Just noticed the requirement that this should work with comments sent via email. Currently an alert email is generated by adapting IAlert and IRequest. The request is needed to compute the hrefs for links in the email. This will also be an issue when we implement alert digests, actually, assuming those are kicked off by a cron job and console script.

Issue being, we need a way to figure out the url of the site even outside of the context of an http request. Is there a way to do this currently that I'm not aware of or is there a need to invent something. Would a "system_root_url" setting be a reasonable choice for dealing with this?

It would eliminate the dependency on a request object when generating alerts which can only make that code cleaner.

Let me know what you think.

Chris, is this one wrapped up? If you are purely doing refactoring, then mark this as done and we can evaluate it, and make a new task that covers refactoring.

I see your point. Perhaps use a utility (that you can call with
arguments from your code where you have all the data) rather than an
adapter?

I can wrap it up without the email comments right away. If we want the
incoming emails to generate alerts, too, we need to refactor.

Yeh, we'll need the latter, but we can hold off on that until after M4.
