Twitter

How does the Crail community feel about creating a Twitter account for the project? It could carry news of releases, talks, blog posts, and pass on things that other people are saying about Crail.

I happen to be a mentor for Crail through the incubation process, but I’m not wearing my mentor hat here. As a mentor, it’s not my place to suggest how you Crail markets itself and grows the community. As someone who has grown several open-source projects inside and outside of ASF, I’ve just found Twitter a very successful way for a project to communicate with a broader community, including the many people who are too busy to join the dev list but still want to follow the project’s progress.

If unfamiliarity with twitter is what’s holding you back, Patrick, maybe someone else on the PPMC can take this one on.
