Hi Bill,

Here at Katipo we have a few members of our Kete (http://kete.net.nz/)  
development team, myself included, that use Twitter to talk about the  
project.  I imagine that Katipo may have a corporate account at some  
point soon.

Here are our individual accounts:

http://twitter.com/wtem - myself, Kete Project Lead
http://twitter.com/k776 - Kieran Pilkington, developer on the Kete  
project

Although not part of Katipo, I've noticed a number of members of the  
greater Kete community on Twitter, too.  A few that I have found so far:

http://twitter.com/jransom - Joann Ransom at Horowhenua Library Trust,  
whom we developed Kete for
http://twitter.com/littlehigh - Paul Reynolds at McGovern Online

The Kete project has a "twiterbot" account for Kete's code repository  
for quite awhile now at http://twitter.com/kete.  There are a few  
other avenues to easily track this information, so I'm tempted to  
change that to tweet new material from http://kete.net.nz/ instead.

Also, http://kete.net.nz/ tracks tweets that use the #kete hash tag.   
Please use #kete if you are tweeting about Kete.

Cheers,
Walter McGinnis
