Our approach
Social media are useful to get news spread and reach out to potential users and contributors. They can also be very demanding and time-consuming. And they can fragment our community, sucking useful content and contacts that should be free to their frequently closed and commercially driven environments.

This is why we are happy to play with social media when they are useful and simple to manage, but we are reluctant to put a lot efforts engaging, promoting and building isolated sub-communities. Still, help and ideas fr improvement are welcome as always.
