Eventure: Activity Streams in Django

Eventure provides generic solution to logging activities.

"In its simplest form, an activity consists of an actor, a verb, and an object. It tells the story of a person performing an action on or with an object -- "Geraldine posted a photo" or "John shared a video". In most cases these elements will be explicitly declared, but they may also be implied."
