1. Each task has a hashtag and a link 'i promise to do this'
2. When clicked, it directs users to twitter.com autofilled with a tweet (link to site + hashtag unique to each task).
3. User tweets, and we add their face to the task they have promised to do.
4. We list all people who have tweeted hashtag unique to a task below or adjacent to the task (note some tasks may have as many as 500).

I love that workflow. one question though - what it the user wanted to say
they did everything? just bringing it up - i don't have any good ideas now.
just saying...

The pre-filled Tweet I think we can do with a straight-up anchor tag, if that API is still floating around out there. Getting the user’s avatar might mean making an xAuth call, though. @pifantastic: I did some xAuth stuff a while ago—give the word if you need a second set of eyes on anything, yeah?

[pifantastic]

Thanks @Wilto. Yep, prefilling is as easy as this.

The twitter search API serves up avatars, so I think we can get by without XAuth.

Expanding on @ConnorMontgomery's comments: would it be overkill for us to consider using an additional hashtag to track progress?

Maybe..

I promise to implement a polyfill for HTML5 bananas #igotmybeanie #promise

followed up by..

I promised to implement a polyfill for HTML5 bananas #igotmybeanie #completed

This would let us pull in results for:

1. Everything that's been promised to be completed
2. Everything that's been completed
3. Also support other things. e.g.

I promised to implement a polyfill for HTML5 bananas #igotmybeanie #cant in case someone needs to inform us that a task is available again for someone else to try doing.

Again..might be way more than you need, but just throwing the idea out there.

I dont think the tasks would be mutually exclusive (at least not on the beanie site) the mutually exclusive tasks could be moved to lazy-web-requests so we can use github's issue tracker to track them.

[Wilto]

Seconded—a lot of the promises are kind of “I will read this,” or “I’m gonna help someone with that” anyway, so I don’t think tracking them is a big deal. I do like individual hashtags per task to see what things people are most interested in, though, just outta curiosity .

This is in.
