Twitter integration

[Johannes Spohr <johannes.spohr@…>]

A member of our team wrote a small script which reads the Trac RSS feed for Bitten builds and converts the RSS entries to Twitter messages (tweets). I think it's a great way to keep people updated about the build status, and it would be even better if integrated into Bitten itself.

Nice!

Bitten includes an extension point for build-listeners. That means any Trac plugin can hook onto the full build process, and trigger notification events - see bitten.api.IBuildListener interface.

I doubt Bitten will include a Twitter notification feature, but it would no doubt be a nice and simple plugin to make; implementing the extension point, support for some basic trac.ini settings for account information + perhaps one-line tweet templates, and of course the logic to post the tweets.
