Sorry if I'm an accidental top poster- I researched the mailing list concept=
 last night, but I still don't know if I'm doing it right!

Anyway, LinkedIn - you can create company pages as well as groups. Spotty up=
dates definitely look bad, but it's also better (IMO) to have a well-fleshed=
-out description page pointing to the website than nothing at all. Same for =
Facebook. So if we do those for CouchDB, we can then develop update strategi=
es to be implemented when we know exactly what kind of content we want to po=
st and on what schedule.

Also, LinkedIn now has a section for volunteer work! If y'all who have been c=
ontributing for a long time wanted to list your CouchDB work there, this the=
oretical company page would be linked to you, and anyone who's interested in=
 what you do on the side is going to look at that. Not exactly an aggressive=
 marketing tactic, but it gets the name out there.
