We’ve had a Facebook page for more than two years. We even have a vanity URL: https://www.facebook.com/subsurfacedivelog Jan Schubert created this and thankfully he gave me admin rights before he went on that last dive. All that said, we have a pathetic 163 “likes” which means “dead as a doornail” from what I can tell. > 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 :) Yep. And not a lot of divers there. > 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. I’d rather poke a needle in my eye than managing a phpBB. The mountains of spam to the mailing list and to trac are bad enough. I’ll think about a solution. /
