Re: IFTTT.com and the Plone API

I agree that zapier.com is also a good one to work on, especially as you 
mention that it may allow us to do more ourselves up front. And having 
API calls that would allow a new item/post on Plone to generate a Tweet 
or similar syndication would be great. Another more difficult issue is 
to allow the workflow to trigger events in Zapier/IFTTT which would mean 
that authentication and binding to a "group" or "user" with certain 
rights needs to be considered. Allowing this would be fantastic for 
Intranet capabilities and would put Plone into a new strata of useful 
"apps."

I do think that CMIS may be important for RFP requirements perhaps (like 
if Plone is competing with CMIS enabled CMS's), but Zapier and IFTTT 
would catapult individual sites into competition in the usability and 
mobile world. With enabling "triggers" with workflow and dexterity types 
which could be based on specific Plone implementations.
