I agree with Brion. Human updates would be nice. The truncated and often context-less messages in the current feed are rather useless.
We would have to do it in some sort of convenient way that doesn't involve logging out of one's own account and logging into the wikimediatech account using the password you had to look up on a server somewhere. I was thinking we could have a script on fenari that does it, that way it's convenient but still restricted to people with command-line access (as opposed to !log which is unrestricted).
It would be fairly trivial to whip up a script that pushes to the identi.caaccount and has its own authentication. It might even -- dare I say it -- be a MediaWiki plugin using our existing authentication and user groups system. :)
(Offhand I forget if the Twitter feed is auto-mirroring from the identi.cafeed or separately posted, but either way is doable.)
