Hi Alexandre.. I think it's a good idea. I've added squeakquorabot,
which polls hourly and will announce new questions (and hopefully not
updated ones, we'll see.)
(Also I've made squeaksobot poll stack overflow hourly instead of
every six hours. This one does announce old updated questions as well
as new ones, but I think this is a small enough problem to ignore.)
Don't let this stop you writing a smarter squeak-based bot, or
reviving an existing one; it's a nice real-world project.
Cheers - Simon (sm)
