mod_muc_rtbl: also filter messages This was a bit tricky because we don't want to run the JIDs through SHA256 on each message. Took a while to come up with this simple plan of just caching the SHA256 of the JIDs on the occupants. This will leave some dirt in the occupants after unloading the module, but that should be ok; once they cycle the room, the hashes will be gone. This is direly needed, otherwise, there is a tight race between the moderation activities and the actors joining the room.

summary: Subscribe to Twitter search queries over pubsub
...

Introduction
------------

Twitter has an open 'realtime' search API, but it requires polling
(within their rate limits). This module allows Prosody to poll for you,
and push new results to subscribers over XMPP.

Configuration
-------------

This module must be loaded on a Prosody pubsub component. Add it to
`modules_enabled` and configure like so:

    Component "pubsub.example.com" "pubsub"
    modules_enabled = { "pubsub_twitter" }

    twitter_searches = {
      realtime = "xmpp OR realtime";
      prosody = "prosody xmpp";
    }

This example creates two nodes, 'realtime' and 'prosody' that clients
can subscribe to using
[XEP-0060](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html). Results are in
[ATOM 1.0 format](http://atomenabled.org/) for easy consumption.

  Option                    Description
  ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  twitter\_searches         A list of virtual nodes to create and their associated Twitter search queries.
  twitter\_pull\_interval   Number of minutes between polling for new results (default 20)
  twitter\_search\_url      URL of the JSON search API, default: "http://search.twitter.com/search.json"
