Hi Samson, I think that you missed the point of what James said. Facebook engages in lots of tracking and questionable business practices, see the Stallman article on this subject [1]. Maybe adding a link could be acceptable (however do we want to send the message that we endorse facebook?), but I would be against adding a "like button" - which allows facebook to run whatever code they want on our page.
Also, why do we want Q&A on Facebook? We already have social help, which is arguably a platform better suited to hosting discourse (infact it uses a software package called discourse which specialises in just that). Social help is also embedded in Sugar, whereas facebook is not. Even if facebook was a slightly better service for this, we are then allowing facebook control over our communications with our users. We are putting a lot of trust in an for-profit company, which produces non-free software (ethically opposite to Sugar) and allowing them to censor all of our communications with users. I'm not cool with that.
