This group is only useful if anyone is using it.

Currently gEDA's presence is spread between seul.org, sourceforge.net,
launchpad.net, now linkedn..

Do we need a facebook group?

I'm actually concerned that if we have so many presences, we end up
diluting the "brand", and if these aren't actively looked after /
maintained, it ends up looking like the project is less active than it
really is.

In short.. if you create these groups, please be sure to keep them
maintained, and ensure they aren't somewhere which people try to get in
touch, but get neglected / ignored.

Letting us know you created the group is good. Asking before hand would
have been better.
