I didn't know that, Phill, thanks for the info! So anyone can see what's
going on as long as they have a FB user but they need to go through
scrutiny (i.e. deciding if they are spammers) to join, right?

Sounds good.

In any case, I have decided to un-join the group in support of our users
that cannot follow us in FB and my own conviction that it is not the
right thing to do to have technical conversations there. I can spare
myself the advertisement, since I follow things closely on IRC and
mailing anyway.

Thanks,
Gema
