The bot has never earned any money, so I'm not up for forking over $149 / month. I am working on a way to enter the data via the website.

Well, today is the 10th and the bot is still working just fine. Maybe our bot was too little to fall under their radar and they're looking to generate profit from the ones that go through thousands of tweets a day? Hope so.

According to the the Twitter Dev feed they have extended the deadline to 14th, and they have also agreed to allow bots which post less than 1500 tweets per month to run for free.

Can we achieve that? I've been posting 4 a day to have tags on them, but I could consolidate. And we don't generally have that many people each time.

I don't think the issue is you posting to the bot. The limit is how often it replies. But it isn't my bot, so I can't tell you anything about it.

The bot posts way less than 1500 tweets a month, so I think we'll be fine. I've been coding an alternative solution just in case.

Great opportunity to expand the list of available languages. Say, all ISO-639-3 codes, if I may be greedy enough to make a suggestion...

So does the next one start at the beginning of May? I haven't done one for a while, but I'd like to use it in the run up to my exam.
