ColdSpring Framework on Twitter
Just a note to let everyone know I set up a twitter account for ColdSpring.
It has automated updates for Git commits, and ticket events. It should be a good resource for helping people keep up to date with the going-on's of ColdSpring, and especially ColdSpring 2.0.
Follow coldspring_fw on Twitter!

Interesting,
Did you have to write something to do this, or is it a feature of GIT, never used GIT, how do you find it compared to SVN?

Dale - actually, this is powered by several services.
I use Yahoo Pipes (http://pipes.yahoo.com/) to combine several RSS feeds and massage them into an RSS feed that gives a list of the updates. You can see it here:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/markmandel/coldspring_project
I then take that RSS feed and pass it over to http://twitterfeed.com/ which takes RSS feeds and pushes them to twitter.
As per Git - I LOVE it. The only issue with it is that it's all command line, but you get used to it. The fact that you can commit on a purely local level is *insanely* powerful. The last ColdSpring push to the remote repository I did, was actually 3 minor commits, that I then locally squashed together and then pushed to the remote repository. It means I can make 'save points' in my development code any time I want without having to worry about pushing non-complete code to the rest of the developer team. There is so much more to Git, but it is seriously awesome.
