Ok, but what we want to view in admin interface? News about another release, another feature or 'short news' that tells us that whitehouse adopted web2py? I prefer the first one. My opinion is to change tweet to RSS in admin interface - I don't want to 'delete' web2py twitter. So, we can write a RSS reader in web2py and you can still without a RSS client... -- Álvaro Justen Peta5 - Telecomunicações e Software Livre 21 3021-6001 / 9898-0141 http://www.peta5.com.br/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
