I basically agree with Frans. If Luc (or whoever) wants to send a Twitteresque feed to Planet, I guess that feed could be auto-digested - i.e. have an intermediary consuming all your one-liners and sending them out once a day, probably timestamped. That way you won't have to repeat your information in several formats and it will be available to all Planet readers. Doing this integration is (or rather, I think should be) almost trivial... I don't have a Twitter account, but if your (Luc's or whoever is interested) feed is public, I will happily provide the digester, just ask :) -- Gunnar Wolf - gw...@gwolf.org - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
