The activity stream is an extremely useful feature of Redmine and is generally the starting point for a lot of users when they enter the system.
Having our plugins register with the activity stream provides greater value to end users as they can quickly see what has been happening within our plugin from the same screen they would be following up with other plugins and core system events.
In this chapter, we learned how to include our plugin in a project's activity stream as well as how to tweak the formatting of the results.
In the next chapter, we'll explore plugin configuration management.
