‘summary’ vs ‘content’

[barnabywalters]

Objects have 'content' (the bulk) and 'summary', but activities have 'content'. I argue that an activity’s content is actually it’s object, and that having activity.summary as a short human readable summary of the activity would be more appropriate.

E.G. if I have:

note.summary = "This is a medium length, tweet-like note for use in an example. This is a medium length, tweet-like note for use in an example. It has a <a href="">HTML link</a> in."
note.displayName = "This is a medium length, tweet-like note for use in an example. This is a…"

It’s associated post activity should look like this:

activity.object = note
activity.summary = "This is a medium length, tweet-like note for use in an example. This is a…"
activity.title = "Barnaby posted a note"

(I have obviously left out various properties for brevity)
