First, the main discussion will be always here.
Then, yes, we should post materials on Wikimedia web sites, then on other places.
But we should use social media as social media: to reach people interested in what we are doing, those willing to contribute, as well as to talk with people.
Technologically, we failed epically. So, we have to use a Volks Wagen while waiting for the new model of Lada. We have to turn a blind eye to industrial profiteers ;)

Agreement from me also - so I guess any FB-post should be duplicated to the blog and vice versa.

Hi agree with Amir that not everybody is on facebook and writing blog posts is indeed better.
But having a facebook page will also help us. And yes it should not the only place where we share stories.

Just please don't make it the only place where this is announced. Not everybody has a Facebook account. Also, Facebook is very ephemeral - posts come and go, they are hard to search, and it's challenging to find old ones.
A recently suggested idea, that a Langcom member who champions a new project would write a blog post about is much more sustainable, aligned with Wikimedia values, and convenient.

I've created Facebook page for LangCom: https://www.facebook.com/wmlan gcom/
It could be used for various announcements ("New Wikimedia language!", "We are now working on this!" etc.) and discussions about things we are interested in.
I'll give admin permissions to every LangCom member who wants it.
