Good to list the various social networks... but the only one really active is G+. (Twitter had one tweet in 2014, Facebook not much more.) I would move Twitter and Facebook to the list below. Planet Inkscape is mostly just the tutorials now so maybe move that to the list. (At least we got in cleaned up recently.)
Currently I'm the only one who posts on Twitter, and am willing to share the credentials with any trusted individuals via some secure method. I tried sharing the twitter creds via the repo bryce set up for us, but I don't know that anyone other than bryce can even access them at this point. Really, we just need an "easy" and secure way to share credentials for single account systems so we can increase activity.
It's on me to promote the current system a little more widely before we throw in the towel on it. Right now we're only using it for sharing the kickstarter and twitter passwords, neither of which are exactly in demand...
Really all we need for adding people is their gpg pub key, which can be generated via `gpg --gen-key`, and then emailed to one of the Inkscape LP admins (e.g. me or you).
As for Facebook, there is a community Facebook page I know of and the community Facebook group I seem to do most of the moderating on. Is there a more official Facebook page I am unaware of or are you referring to the community one? I would say let's get Twitter & Facebook more active rather than not refer people to them.
Agreed.
How about "We are social! Join us on Google+, on IRC, or on one of our mailing lists."
We aren't really social if we're not embracing Twitter & Facebook like we should.
TL;DR Let's fix our social media problems rather than not engage in the most popular places.
Should we consider specifically designating an Inkscape Media team, with some group goals and procedures? Perhaps being part of a distinct, recognized team would make the work more engaging for folks?
