Thanks to twitterfeed, for making this possible. Great web-service, that lets you automate tweets from any kind of RSS feeds, be it our category-specific blogs, our delicious bookmarks, etc.

Why are we doing this?

I guess you might have understood the importance of our program, why documentation is the backbone of any project, whether open source OR not! It still plays a key role, documentation could be a blog entry, an article, a tutorial, a hack OR some design documents. However, we are only interested in having articles, tutorials, screencasts, blogs and tips&tricks.

Welcome :)
