I know I have already said this, but isn't it certainly enough that
they prefer messages about FreeMarker? (I suppose if someone has time
to burn and so want messages defined only by some broad common
interest, they subscribe to some person's tweet or such.)

That bicycle shed was already painted.

Overall, I would like to point out that part of the FreeMarker
"culture" is that we just want users (programmers mostly) to get their
job done, and that's it. So chatty are semi-relevant messages to users
are kind of out of character. Personally, I would like that's value is
kept. Not sure if it's compatible with social media though... (:

(Sooner or later I will have to pull myself together and start some
Wiki page about where FM3 is going... Right now it's still too early
to bother people. I was kind of busy in the recent two weeks so, yeah,
I'm a bit behind with FM. Anyway, that will generate a few Tweets
too.)
