In addition to organisation discussions:

This is a proposed extension to the inkscape website news system (see
attached screenshot)

The idea is that we can add in any backlinks to our news articles into
the article. Effectively giving us a space to track if we have posted
the article to twitter, facebook and etc etc. Different types of
articles will want different social media, so I've left it fairly open
to group policy (as in what social media to post news to)

On the news page itself, we'd show the little icons and link to them so
people could see at a glace what social media was done for that
article. As well as any other (non-social-media) backlinks could be
added somewhere useful later.

Thoughts? Useful to the the new social media group? Please bring it up
at the meeting and let me know what you'd like the website to do.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
