It's an internal application after all. The SVN hook emailer is an internal application, written by Arno two years ago, that meets the needs of TeamICS and can easily support extra mailings. A new mailing list has little admin effort, except for bounced emails. I agree ICS Twitter or RSS components would be useful for ICS. Everyone here is a volunteer and such components usually only get written (or converted) when there is a commercial need for them, and they are then (usually) made available to others ICS users for free. Testing is also very important, and time consuming. I personally don't use Twitter, RSS or LinkedIn, so any such project has a major learning curve. I've been using the same 'social networking' site for over 25 years, and don't see a need for others - CIX.

also use Indy HTTP, a complex XML project.
In this case the Indy stuff is used only to format datetime values, very
easy to replace.
There is also an TIdHTTP component, used only in the LoadFromHTTP
method, not really needed and easily replaceable by the ICS THttpCli.
Using the bellow function, updating a local rss.xml file from that
TeamICS e-mail client is as easy as this:
if PostToRssFeed.checked and
AddEntryToRSSFeed('c:\path\to\the\local\rss.xml', 'email.subject',
'email.message', 'http://url/to/the/update') then
begin
//upload updated c:\path\to\the\rss.xml file online
end;
- Global FormatSettings, related to DateTime format, should also be set
to English defaults, if Windows regional settings are different.
- The local feed file can be started by grabbing an online feed, fill
the header fields with relevant ICS info, and removing all the
items.
rss feed specifications
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html
uses
SimpleRSS, SimpleRSSTypes;
function AddEntryToRSSFeed(const aRSSFilename, aTitle, aDescription,
aLink: string): boolean;
var
SimpleRSS: TSimpleRSS;
begin
result := false;
SimpleRSS := TSimpleRSS.Create(nil);
try
SimpleRSS.LoadFromFile(aRSSFilename);
with SimpleRSS.Items.Add do
begin
Title := aTitle;
Description := aDescription;
Link := aLink;
GUID.Include := true;
PubDate.DateTime := now;
end;
SimpleRSS.GenerateXML;
SimpleRSS.SaveToFile(aRSSFilename);
result := true;
finally
SimpleRSS.free;
end;
end;

Re: [twsocket] SVN update notifications
Since we already have an internal e-mail notification sent to TeamICS members (based on TSmtpCli) it would be easy to send another copy to some mailing list. How about upgrade that program to add a new entry to a RSS feed, and post a new Twitter message? That would of course be nice. But this require a lot of work to create the software to do that, and then to maintain it in operation. I don't think we have the resources to do that. Old mailing list are good, but ther's no assurance the message will arrive to all users e-mail box. No more no less that tweet or RSS. The mailing list is really very reliable so far as is email. Everybody depends on email today so it has to be reliable anyway. What would be really interesting is to find someone wanting to write a program, using ICS components, creating new one if required, which would serve as a gateway. That program shall use the POP3 component to receive emails from a given email account somewhere, retrieve messages posted by the SVN emailer and blash it to tweeter, RSS, FaceBook and LinkedIn. That guy should also have a server to make the gateway running and have some spare time to operate it properly. That would be very nice :-) -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

Well, if somebody wants to support social networks or RSS feeds she has to implement that herself. I'm conservative, in such a way that I use NNTP or mailing lists exclusively.
