Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records ComplexLife version 0.9.8 as active, updated 18y ago and tested up to WordPress 2.6.
Overview
About this plugin
ComplexLife is a fork from Kieran’s SimpleLife which has been on hiatus/slow development for a while.
Simply, it shows your activity for any service that gives a date sorted rss/atom activity feed. The plugin then displays all that activity in any place you want it sorted by time, as a personal lifestream. You can see a sample here
Features
All the features provided with version 1.1 of Simplelife (the point of the fork) and I will also attempt to merge any new future changes as well
Support for as many and as obscure services as possible. I have already included stuff that no one else does like PMOG, Atheist Nexus, Cocomments, Getboo etc.
Longer history via utilizing google reader.
Comment tracking from everywhere. That is, each time you leave a comment in the blogosphere or in a forum, it will show in your lifestream (AFAIK, no other lifestreaming service does this)
Pie Charts. 🙂
=Important Notes=
This plugin requires the Simplepie Core plugin in order to work.
PHP 5 is required.
Future features
I have a few ideas I’d like to implement in the future. I’m not certain I can but I’m listing them here in case anyone would like to tackle them.
An Ajax-y settings page where the user selects from the top which services he needs to use and then only they appear
Unlimited custom feeds. User should be able to put a number on a field and get that many custom rss fields to use.
Integration with the plugin cache if it exists for faster speeds.
Allow variables to be set on the plugin php call which would allow it to be included, say, in the sidebar but showing only the last 5 actions.
A way for it to export an rss file which can be used by people elsewhere. This file could be created/updated every time it’s called, every time the plugin runs or with a cronjob.
