Hi Nick,
This is awesome and I think should be great for the community! I looked
to commons as an example https://twitter.com/ApacheCommons . Looks like
they tweet out the releases with a link to the mailing list comments.
Might be a good precedent to follow to bring attention to the fact that
there is a mailing list. Other things to consider: CVE we'd need to
report publicly, committer/PMC updates, and perhaps PSAs of changes like
the SVN - > GIT change. Thanks again!

Hi All
Firstly, in case you haven't heard, we've setup a twitter account for
the project! It's @ApacheTika - https://twitter.com/ApacheTika
One thing we'll want to use it for is project publicity, linking to
interesting things going on around the project, such as today's post
on how the panama papers investigation used Apache Tika and SOLR :)
Another thing we can use it for is release announcements. That leads
to a question though - which parts? Should we just tweet when there's
a new release out, linking to the download and the changelog?
Or would people prefer it if we tweeted when we start the countdown to
a release (to give a chance to test / get last patches ready), again
when the vote starts (to get a wider group testing and voting), and
finally when the release is out?
Thoughts?
Nick
