I was actually supposed to run a blog about E stuff, but due to... a lot of reasons I stopped. It wasn't anything official (not linked from e.org) anyway. Afaik someone else made the same effort (in the same time with me, thats one of the reasons)Last time I talked with people (well, programmers..)

my 2 cents on this: I'd not use it as i'm not twitter guy myself, but I see value in Massimiliano's work and since he is not stopping any development work on his front, it's just bonus... if raster stops hacking and starts twittering then I'd find out a FUCKING HUGE STICK and beat him to death :-)

Regardless of the method, I think there should be two enlightenment information streams: one for users and one for developers. Yes there are mailing lists, but the lists have a lot of garbage you need to dig through to get at the interesting bits. The value of a blog or twitter is that it's a
