Bug ID: 49476
Summary: adminbot (morebot) about to lose ability to log to
Identi.ca and Twitter due to API deprecations
Product: Tools
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: [Other]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Identi.ca is migrating to a new distributed social service called 'pump.io'.
This was supposed to have happened on June 8th, but details about it are a bit
scarce. One of the things entailed in the migration is the deprecation of the
current status.net API with adminbot uses to post messages to identi.ca that
then get forwarded to Twitter.
Twitter also retired version 1.0 of its API, obsoleting some of the Python
Twitter API libraries in Ubuntu Precise.
The future of identi.ca seems rather uncertain and the underlying protocol of
the new pump.io API probably has a kink or three. It probably makes sense to
ditch it and post to Twitter exclusively. (We have several hundred people
following the SAL via Twitter.) We should start by identifying a reliable
Twitter API client library that has some established history of following
Twitter API changes.
