ReactOS Updates flowing to our Social Channels.

[victor martinez]

Hi guys!

After a week dealing with several scripts and options, we're finally integrating the most important info from Reactos.org and Community.reactos.org directly to our Social channels to keep a constant flow of updates to our followers.

Since now our ReactOS Facebook and ReactOS Twitter will be automatically updated when...
... A Jira bugreport is resolved with a 'Fixed' and 'Cannot reproduce' status.
... A blog post is published in "ReactOS.org"
... A blog post is published in "Community.ReactOS.org"

Some of the features:
- Updates are queued and published with a time gap between them, so in case, eg,  a Tester/Dev runs a Spring Cleanup, we won't be publishing 10 Jira reports in the same minute.
- Facebook and Twitter updates include pictures in case the blog post or the Jira report has one. So please add a picture in case you're blogging even if it is just a screenshot of you running "whatever" in ReactOS.
- Includes #hashtags related to the current Jira/Blog report.
- Uses bit.ly shortener when needed.
- And several hidden Easter Eggs in Twitter...(I was bored in the train)

If you've any suggestions about other potential updates to be sent to our Social Channels, just tell me and I'd try to integrate them in an automated way.

I'm planning a way to ease and have community contributions filtered and joining the automated flow, but it'll have to wait until I master Drupal. Also I'm working in some "crossposting" among our Social Channels, so a direct post in Facebook not coming from our PR Update System is replicated in Twitter and the other way around.

We can be really proud of the current PR Update system implemented, since probably it even beats several bigger opensource projects and/or companies out there.

Mmmm?
Event-tracking.com for?
Event tracking allows you to measure how users interact with the content
   of your website. So basically, it is just an UI tracking. Nope, it was not used in the scripts for this flow.
About implementing it in our current site so we can track how users gets lost in our current website...well...we already know they get lost in redundant pages. 
It would have sense to add this script once the website is fully cleaned and properly sorted, and since one idea is one responsability...yes...I'm preparing "something" about the site. 
To be talked in our next Meeting and potentially finished in our ReactOS HackFest.
We can't release 0.4 with current site...

They are sometimes so lost that they can’t find where to download daily
builds (hint: third button below the “download release” one on the front
page ^^ )

> > They are sometimes so lost that they can’t find where to download daily builds

Well, the main issue in such case is about "Targetability"

Main page is supposed to be focused to any kind of newcomer, but "daily build" is however a non-casual term so casual users can see it but they won't understand what it means.
So "daily build" button should be moved to a page which is supposed to target advanced users, or we should substitute the "daily build" in the main page to something meaningful for a casual visitor (if we want them to try those). If we don't want non-advanced visitors to try a "daily build" then the button is perfectly placed.

But yes, this is a perfect case among many others: Pages duplicated with almost the same info, pages not correctly sorted, /node/ links destroying our SEO, and wall of texts from sXIX

This is just one of thousand of issues ;)
Links with /node/ are even worse than missing Titles in SEO.
There are a lot of things to be fixed, hence doing some tests here in my local ;)

Our site (reactos.org) is not optimized for search engines. I mean only white optimization (not black like cloaking and so on). Nobody gives a damn even about english language pages of site. https://jira.reactos.org/browse/ONLINE-388 see for details.
