This doesn't sound like a bad idea; it's easy to automate posting to identi.ca and it has all the plusses you listed. I realize it doesn't have really reliable storage or searching but simplicity in this sort of solution normally means it's robust -- and besides, what we care is that people have a place where they can easily go to see what the /current/ status was, not the status on a specific date in the past. I'm +1 on the idea. We could have launchpad.net/status redirect there if we wanted a shortcut, btw. -- Christian Robottom Reis | [+55 16] 3376 0125 | http://launchpad.net/~kiko | [+55 16] 9112 6430 | http://async.com.br/~kiko _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
