Seeder
======
Seeder is a Django application for allowing retweeting important information.

Introduction
------------
We have a great message at [Water.org][water] that we try to get out. This application
helps with that by allowing users to "donate" their status to us. Once they're
authorized use using [Twitter's OAuth][twit-oauth], it pushes updates that are
generated through Django's admin out to those users.

Technology
----------
This uses the following applications:

* [Django][Django] for the data storage
* [python-twitter][python-twitter] for interaction with Twitter
* [oauth-python-twitter][oauth-python-twitter] as a wrapper around Twitter's OAuth interface

This serves as a complete example of how to interact with Twitter's OAuth mechanism
using the various libraries that are available.

Installation
------------
Yet to be written

Usage
-----
Standard Django app usage. The only thing this requires is some way to
automatically run commands so it can post to Twitter.
