Extend follow-all to github

[michellekoeth]

Follow-all is great for Twitter! Can we extend it to follow all for github also? Cheers!

Let's extend it to multiple social networks, such as status.net/identi.ca, flickr, and so on.

This could be cool. Specifically for GitHub. Does GitHub have a notion of lists? If not it could be easy to mock list behavior with a YML file containing usernames. Terrible idea?

Terrible idea. I think you will quickly find that the scale of Code for
America projects overwhelms Github's puny notification system. In fact,
most people end up turning off email notifications which is why I can
answer all your issues this morning with the assumption that few other
people will see the thread let alone reply :-)

BUT, I think Code for America would benefit from a central place for
storing/managing accounts, for example:

• Twitter: currently stored as twitter lists, which is kinda crappy since
  only a few staff can administer that
• Github: I guess you could get it out of the API
• Foursquare
• etc.

I disagree. I like following people on github for the news feed. I think this is a good idea. But then again I get all the emails still too.

You should able to use the github api to pull a list from the fellows team http://developer.github.com/v3/orgs/teams/#list-team-members
