That would be fine.
This project has great resources and helping people find them would be the main focus of the effort right now.
I'd be happy to help with the project.
Please note that it is not recommended practice in social media for only one person to know the login credentials of any single social media presence.
Thanks,

Hi Robert, I don't use social media myself. But I certainly recognize the value to a project like this. I have the impression, from the posts we get now and then (in both forums and mailing lists), that there doesn't seem to be anyone participating on a daily (or even just regular) basis, making sure connections get made, questions answered, rumors squashed, etc. I think one person holds the accounts (as Martin mentioned), but doesn't have time for the day to day management.
I do know there is (at least) one FB group which has been
fairly active lately, holding drawing contests or challenges. I could look up a link to it, if you need it. Although you probably already know about it.
One thing that's in the plans, is an advocacy group or team,
which would make sure all the various necessary announcements get made, through all the project's web outlets. And as well, it would probably manage some outreach or "marketing" plans (in quotes, since there's no "buying or selling").
I'm hoping we can get that going as soon as the activity after
hackfest calms down. Would you be interested in being on that team? Or even if you could just be the team's contact person for social media, it would be a big help. I can't say for sure, since we haven't organized yet, but probably the team would create small announcements, and send them to you to post.
Thanks for your offer to help! Let us know if you're interested
in the advocacy group, and at what level :-)
All best, brynn

My main expertise is in Facebook groups. I co-admin a group with 19,000 people about a TV show. I moderate a group for an iOS developer with about 70 people in it. I've used social media since the 1990s and I really enjoy connecting users to each other and to relevant resources about their interests.
I'd be happy to help organize your efforts. I'm a big fan of documenting resources.
Thanks for your reply,

Hi Robert,
It's great to hear from you and your help with social media.
Our working document for tracking project resources is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kilt4tm1KDCNysd5oy5M5wJnCCS45fq a7VIoEyBl090/edit#gid=0
The social media list as you can see is a bit all over the place. scislac has the most keys, but I'm hoping we can get more people involved and get a process for news propergation and the reverse (from social media to project)
Which parts are you most interested in helping with? Are you interested in working with me to make sure we have project wide admin access to these accounts?
Best Regards, Martin Owens
