Description
Love the module. How difficult would it be to allow activity streams for nodes of a node type? The nodes would would have view, edit, clone (if installed), and Activity Stream tabs when viewing or editing?
Thoughts?

I don't understand what you're looking for. Could you explain a little further?

Sure. Thanks for the response. currently the module works by attaching or associating activity nodes to users. User creates an account and the has the activity stream tab available when editing the user profile. I'd like to be able to attach activities to nodes. The example that comes to mind is a business directory where businesses are nodes. each node would have an activity stream tab where activities are associated with a node rather than a user. Musicians, or artists can be another example if they are maintained by the website and not by registering users. When you edit the node you are given the ability to added activity stream information for a new node that you create.
Thus activity stream would take advantage of the node api aswell as the user api like it does now.
Thoughts?

I like the idea. Here's how I was thinking I'd implement it.
Add a setting to Activity Stream that allowed you to select a list of content types. The same subtab that appears on user/edit would appear on nodes of that content type, too.
One wrinkle is that to help prevent abandoned user accounts from sucking resources, user streams stop updating if a user stops logging in. I'm not sure how that would work with nodes. Would that feature not be implemented for nodes?

I think this is a feature for the next major release.
