Enable OONI Probe users to receive updates

[agrabeli]

During the October 2021 OONI Community Meeting, a community member highlighted the need to enable OONI Probe users to learn about the project, more easily receive updates, get involved, etc.

As a starting point, we opened this ticket (about linking to the OONI blog and reports via OONI Probe): #1850

The community member mentioned that they'd like to see us linking to OONI github issues through OONI Probe, so that users can more easily check what is working, what's blocked, what's currently inaccessible due to other reasons (e.g. Facebook being down), etc.

In general, I really like (and agree with) the idea of providing more updates through the OONI Probe app and further contextual information. However, my concern is that if we link to github tickets, we risk spamming OONI Probe users with highly technical and domain-specific information that they may not care about.

Generally, we provide all updates (new reports, bugs, issues, etc.) through the OONI Twitter account (in a much more user-friendly way than github issues): https://twitter.com/openobservatory

Perhaps we could link to the OONI Twitter or somehow pull OONI tweets and share them via the app?

Hi, the idea of linking twitter may be the right catch even if I was wandering: what about a specific label / tag on the github ticket that would be specifically put on the app in case of need? e.g. #down meaning for technical reasons, unrelated to a censorship case, the measurement will give an anomaly. This way twitter may benefit too, generating a twit from the ticket automatically (if possible): increasing information spreading and reducing the workload. (of course I assume the first thing and necessarily created is always a github ticket)
