Personally I'm with Salvo and Tomaz of course.
I was just replying on how to let that as many as possible people can
approach Subsurface.

Regarding FB, I do not agree that a FB group is the best approach for support.
I do not have a FB account nor I would give my personal data to them
to ask something about Subsurface.
I use Subsurface (also) because I want my dive data for me and not on
a public service...
Neverthless I agree that a FB group or page could be a good way to do
some marketing.
Actually, Dirk already have a G+ page on Subsurface where he post
updates and so on...
The problem is that G+ is a dead horse :)

A good compromise could be a small PhpBB forum for general support,
feedback and a mailing list for core development.
The risk is that most of developers doesn't visit the forum to help people.

The key factor here is to create a community around Subsurface and
showing this community around.
