Thanks for all the info, although I did know about the RSS ( from the kde
for windows website ), but the reason why I was asking about twitter is
because of the granularity and the frequency of that current news feed.
Twitter is more useful for keeping people updated with the day to day or
week to week going ons of the project, fills the gap between the big
announcements and keeps people informed. Right now the RSS only has news in
it from about 2 months ago and i'm sure that there has been some really
interesting things happening since then that people would be interested in
;)
In fact how does KDE do with twitter generally? is there any precedent for
this?

In answer to your question - probably not... I'm pretty new to Twitter so \
I'm<br> just exploring the possibilities but it would make sense to have some \
official<br> feeds I think. In the meantime there's the KDE Windows RSS feed<br>
<a href="http://windows.kde.org/rss.php" \
target="_blank">http://windows.kde.org/rss.php</a> and Patrick Spendrin's \
blog<br> <a href="http://saroengels.blogspot.com/" \
target="_blank">http://saroengels.blogspot.com/</a> which will likely be the first \
places for<br> release news (other than this list maybe). I just checked and \
can't find<br> Patrick on Twitter.<br>
<br>
I'll be (hopefully) putting a release announcement on <a \
href="http://dot.kde.org" target="_blank">dot.kde.org</a> too, but<br> that could be \
a bit after the release.<br> <br>
Cheers,<br>
Stu<br>
