We recently had an idea discussed on a video call about potentially starting some Twitter et al. accounts for announcing releases, release candidates, and larger upcoming changes to subprojects (e.g., changing the minimum major version of the underlying programming language or build tooling, major version releases like 2.x -> 3.x, etc). While the dev list remains our official place to discuss development, it would be immensely useful for communicating with our wider user base about changes that may be more relevant to them than to active developers and contributors.
What do you all think? If we do make accounts, would it make sense to divide them into accounts like @log4j, @log4net, @log4cxx, etc., or should they be created like a common account for the whole Logging PMC? And which social media sites would be best to use here? Twitter is an obvious choice, but there could also be other tech-heavy social media sites that would also benefit. -- Matt Sicker
