It's a valid concern. Updating status of projects is the last thing

developers usually do. OTOH, twitting/denting about what they are up

to is a very, very usual thing, because these services make it so easy

to share and are rather tuned for sharing what's important in very

little time (140 symbols limit). So it's a question of implementation.

In other words: if you can't do something with few clicks, it won't

work :)

I wouldn't dream of basing on a single service. At the very least

Gitorious and Bitbucket have to be considered as well.

You mean Create Digital Music's feed? Personally I find CDM a great

resource for broadening horizons. Especially since Peter Kirn does

quite a bit of PR for Ardour, not mentioning their work on open source

hardware. I'd hate to see the community closed to things happening

outside it.
