Probably. It seems that people aren't even willing to check their facts before saying something these days. That is, unless Geneven is trying to express something else, but just failing to do so?

Geneven, click on this link (same as above), and tell me if this isn't what you are expecting? Would you prefer to see every single item in each edition to be posted in its own thread? Wouldn't that make things unbearably replicational?

FYI, those threads have been posted and stickied since the beginning of MWKN, so I don't know how you could've missed them.

Not to mention redundant, since many of the stories already come directly from threads here. . . .

Thanks. Sign up for a Twitter account if you haven't got one already and (I find it easiest to) post using something like Echofon - integrated directly into your browser.

As you come across interesting links and news stories about Maemo, post to Twitter a message of the form:

Code:

@mwkn section message url
These'll be reviewed and re-posted by the MWKN account and, after a few of them, MWKN will start "following" you and they'll get reposted automatically.

Hmm... I want to contribute Jaffa, but I'm new at twitter (especially only created for mwkn) and I guess I'm to stupid. :(

When I post it it should instantly appear here, or am I wrong? :(

I posted 2 news for mwkn, but booth are not delivered. Please have a look here: twitter.com

Where is my mistake? :(

Oh, slept a night. Now it is there. :D

I guess I was not patient enough. So, I can confirm... Everything works fine with mwkn! ;)

It's not automatic until you're "accepted" as a contributor, at which point the Twitter mwkn account will "follow" you.

Until then, it's a manual process to review submissions. So, some points:
  • Your text forms the basis of the headline, so focus on clarity.
  • Contributions for stuff other than your own generated news are welcome :-)

Thanks,

Andrew

Ah, thanks. I missed this part. :o

Mh, I'm not a Nokia employee and only a small hobby programmer in my spare time. I know I'm not the biggest community contributor and for the big news I'm always to late. :(
As soon as they appear at talk.maemo.org everybody knows about it. But as soon as I have a news nobody else has heard about I will use twitter to let mwkn know. :)
