I wouldn't use it, but I think it's a totally reasonable option for those who want it. > Is there a reason why I can't / shouldn't do this? (maybe I'm missing > something fundamentally incompatible in the philosophy / roadmap) As you noted, Camlistore focuses on storing the content you created. If you consider that 1) if you found a tweet interesting enough you retweeted it, 2) twitter isn't the best of mediums for conversations, I think it explains the current behaviour. That said, again, I think your request is reasonable if it's optional. > If desired, any pointers on things to look out for / keep in mind? 1) probably open an issue so it's easier to keep track of progress on this 2) working within the existing implementation flow and "style" should make this pretty straightforward 3) we've recently hit "too many requests" errors with some of the importers. I guess that's something to watch out for, since importing all these additional tweets would probably greatly increase the number of requests. > This would be my first contribution to Camlistore, am very excited about the > project! > > Ruben > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Camlistore" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Camlistore" group.
