Does the bot take into account meetings that only happen say, once a month, or every other week? Drew Dwi 16:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


I'm glad to see this. Three things:

  1. Please don't use "SLT". It's officially deprecated. Use "Pacific Time" or "PST/PDT" as-appropriate. And place a space like this: "PDT @ "
  2. Use a different icon, the current one infringes on LL trademarks.
  3. If you could use an URL-shortening service with metrics like tr.im, that'd be even better.

I will wait for this to mature before highlighting it further, but it's a good start. - Torley-favicon.png Torley on 2009-03-02 @ 8:13 AM PST

  1. This is a simple fix- the PDT/PST string replacement is done on the wiki side of things :-)
  2. I suck at graphics design, I'll poke around for help on this.
  3. I had thought about doing that- There's a bunch of code in the twitBot for abbreviating things so that the tweets will fit into the 140 character limit. I suppose it depends on how important it is for the url *not* to be hidden from view.

  1. Implemented
  2. I've put together a functional icon :-P
  3. I've implemented an URL shortening services on marvulous.sl that only accepts domains operated by Linden Lab :-)
