Yeah, the auto-prune would just zap posts after some time limit (I was also thinking about 3 hours). That way, it'd always be up to date.
For a live stream out of the chat server, that'd just be a box on the left side (or maybe I'd bring back the forum intro page for it) that shows posts in real time. People would hop into the chat channel for it, make their short post, then hop back out, and it'd appear on the forums. It'd only display the last 10-20 posts, which would serve as the pruning, and there'd be a timestamp display.
For Twitter, I'd set up an account (something like @RPCInProgress) and use a bot to retweet tweets at the account. Alternatively, we might decide on a hashtag and just have something on the forum show everything posted under that hashtag. As with chat, it'd only show the last 10-20 tweets along with a timestamp.
For the wiki, it'd be a lot like the various Wikipedia noticeboards; I'd probably install LiquidThreads and use that to manage the page, possibly with a cron job on the server to archive old ones off periodically.
