I was explaining today to a member how to find out when the space is open and found it quite difficult to explain. (Calander, Forum, Twitter and even a bit of FB).
As much as I hate Twitter I think since the space probe and it work really well. We should just tweet these announcements. That way we only direct people to one place and don’t open a forum thing each time. Might even be easier to do.
There is a ‘space opening’ category on the forum which is intended for these opening messages. It would be great if someone could write a script that monitored that category and sent out tweets & maybe facebook posts when a new topic appeared in that category. It could also update the calendar?
Maybe it needs to be a protected script somewhere that you give the url of the discourse post to - complete automation might be a step too far.
