+================================== CURRENT ====================================

+* SMTP: this one is ready and tested.
+
+* XMPP: this one is ready and tested. We'll probably deploy SMTP, tough.
+
+
+================================== IN DEVELOPMENT =============================
+
+* Twitter: This one is half done. I forked a twitter bot from wfn's work on
+BridgeDB, but I got confused with some Twitter policies. I thought that the
+bot *had* to follow someone back to send him/her DMs, but it turns out that
+you just need to be followed, not follow back (thanks to mrphs for pointing
+out this).
+
+
+
+================================== (CRAZY) IDEAS ==============================
+
+* Dropbox: This is just a thought, I haven't done proper research. What if
+someone could ask for gettor links like this: "!gettor"?

+can have an official gettor account and a folder synchronized with dist.tp.o.
