Enhancing web pages with Twitter Cards ?

[Julien Bect]

Hi John, hi all,

You might consider adding a few meta-data tags to some of your web pages 
to make them look nicer on Twitter, using Cards [1].

For instance, on the page that announces the 4.4.1 release [2] you could 
try this :

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@theoctaveguy" />
<meta property="og:url" 
content="https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/news/release/2018/08/09/octave-4.4.1-released.html"; 
/>
<meta property="og:title" content="Octave Version 4.4.1 released" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Octave Version 4.4.1 has been 
released and is now available for download. An official Windows binary 
installer is also available." />
<meta property="og:image" 
content="https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/img/octave-logo.svg"; />

I have no experience with these Twitter Cards, I simply adapted the 
example from [1], so perhaps some of the tags are actually redundant 
with existing tags on the page.
