Personally I'm with Salvo and Tomaz of course. I was just replying on how to let that as many as possible people can approach Subsurface. Regarding FB, I do not agree that a FB group is the best approach for support. I do not have a FB account nor I would give my personal data to them to ask something about Subsurface. I use Subsurface (also) because I want my dive data for me and not on a public service... Neverthless I agree that a FB group or page could be a good way to do some marketing. Actually, Dirk already have a G+ page on Subsurface where he post updates and so on... The problem is that G+ is a dead horse :) A good compromise could be a small PhpBB forum for general support, feedback and a mailing list for core development. The risk is that most of developers doesn't visit the forum to help people. The key factor here is to create a community around Subsurface and showing this community around.
