From 0353f5aa7a2d0676cac86227442e20ef555d43e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Beams Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 13:48:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Simplify Twitter operator spec (#21) The previous version of this document was overprescribed. The removed entries were either unnecessary, or have been in flux. In any case, a lesson is learned here: specify only those things that we know for sure are the way something should be done. When in doubt, leave it to the discretion of the role owner. --- twitter-operator.adoc | 55 ++++--------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) diff --git a/twitter-operator.adoc b/twitter-operator.adoc index 2a9af53..144c073 100644 --- a/twitter-operator.adoc +++ b/twitter-operator.adoc @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ In general, the idea is that announcements, observations and opinions about the == Privileges - - Control of the @bisq_network and @bitsquare_ Twitter accounts. + - Control of the @bisq_network and (legacy) @bitsquare_ Twitter accounts. == General Requirements @@ -43,29 +43,10 @@ The operator SHOULD post a monthly report in the form of a comment on the linked An example of this kind of report can be seen https://github.com/bisq-network/roles/issues/21#issuecomment-348463070[here]. === Collaboration -All tweets to and from the account are posted in the `#twitter` channel of the Bisq Slack team.
