ENH: twitter visibility + quality of content #1200

Hi folks,

@mluessi and I just had a quick mne-storm on how to improve our twitter visibility.

get rid of messages for each commit. let's admit that this is rather noise to us and our followers
instead parse updates of the what's new file on a nightly base and add mentions if the contributors have twitter accounts and an #MEG or #neuroscience hashtag
this should help disseminating news + make sure the news are both, relevant and digestible
finally use url-shorters to allow for addition user mentions + hashtags

WDYT, folks?

Sounds good!

mluessi commented 10 years ago

I think this is a terrible idea ;)

agramfort commented 10 years ago

do you see a way to automate this?

mluessi commented 10 years ago

@agramfort yes, we would need write a script that compares what_s_new.rst with the version from a day before and if it changed generate a tweet for each change.

That would be a lot more human readable. +1

the rest would be trivial, more or less. Create a twitter map along the lines of mailmap, then parse what's new and map contributor to twittermap + create string with default hashtag(s) added. Maybe using GitPython could help tracking changes in that file.

That would be a lot more human readable. +1

Exactly, and also more efficient, probably.

sounds like a great sunday hack :)

@dengemann : did you have something like this in mind? (wrote it while sitting idle :): https://gist.github.com/mainakjas/312a80d7739dd24a49a7

agramfort commented 9 years ago

@mainakjas still up for this?

mainakjas commented 9 years ago

sure, why not

larsoner commented 8 years ago

@jasmainak still interested in this? It's marked for 0.12, so roughly one month out

jasmainak commented 8 years ago

I am interested but I need a hackathon / hacking session to do this ;)

larsoner commented 8 years ago

I'll push to 0.13, then, and if it gets in before it, that's great

jasmainak commented 8 years ago

sounds great
