ok - I have written the code. Whenever a delegate registers, this is tweeted
(if that is the correct term). There are two questions:
1. do we enable it?
2. what information do we send? I would suggest just name with a link to his
profile.
btw, the code is here:
def tweetit(sender,**kwargs):
"""
extract relevant info and tweet it
"""
if kwargs['created']:
t = twitter.Api(settings.TWITTER_USER, settings.TWITTER_PASSWORD)
t.PostUpdate("%s has registered as a delegate"
%(kwargs['instance'].username))
post_save.connect(tweetit, sender=Delegate)
I think even no_mind would concede that django rocks.
