Hi Jeremy,

I strongly agree with you that automation is not a good answer by itself. But if somebody is interested in being the "TW journalist", I could probably help by providing them with a regular list of updates captured by my system, among which they could decide what is worth advertising.

About a special mailing list for new core releases, I think that, in this particular case, it can be automatized: my system (or another one!) could detect when the version changes on tw.com and send an email to this special list with the permalink to the "Release X" tiddler. But of course maybe you prefer to adapt the content of the email yourself, so let me know if you are interested.

Regards
Erwan

As Rich suggested, I'll start using the standard text "TiddlyWiki v5.1.8 released to http://tiddlywiki.com #newtiddlywikirelease" for the new release announcements I send via the @TiddlyWiki Twitter account

We could consider starting a tiddlywiki-announce mailing list just for new core release announcements.

In terms of getting a more useful stream of news and updates from the community, I think that automation will only get us so far. I think we really need a person who's willing to take up the role of "TiddlyWiki Journalist", excercising some editorial judgement in producing an interesting, regular news feed of updates about new developments. The ideal arrangement would be for them to be adding the news items to a TiddlySpot TW in real time, and to have automated bots that re-publish the stories to Twitter etc.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

    I think that a dedicated mailing list would be good. A weekly list
    of updates broken down by either update type or wiki/author would
    be very useful for keeping up with what is going on since I think
    that people mainly post to this group when there is a problem and
    not as much when they make something interesting that may have a
    limited appeal. If an atom feed would work in this context that
    may be easier to follow. I like atom feeds.

    If you are going to start a more general directory listing in
    addition to the search, it would probably need a way to submit
    wikis to be indexed as either personal wikis which probably
    wouldn't be searchable, or reference wikis which would be
    searchable. Or wikis that are demos of themes and plugins where
    the wiki as a whole is useful but searching the tiddlers isn't.

    Sorry I feel like I am just spouting more and more features to
    add, without offering anything in the way of assistance. If there
    is any non-scripting work I can do to help don't hesitate to ask.
