From: Steven Clift <cl...@e-democracy.org> At E-Democracy, we need a "go to" person who can answer strategic questions about what you can and cannot do with Facebook.
In general, we need our open source open gov/civic tech apps/site to reach more people via Facebook so we don't end just having to use Facebook completely to actually engage with folks and therefore lose tons of control over the democratic nature of the features we need. Long story short, our *open source* platform's atom feeds feed Facebook Pages we set-up manually and we allow people to simply pull their Facebook information over when they register. We don't use Facebook login, or give people the option to cross-post their public forum comments automatically to their wall. We want to explore that and other ideas you might have for Facebook integration. As an intergenerational project, many 20 somethings are saying they want to interact completely via the Facebook interface and the over 50 crowd say we love email, don't take that option away. We believe in connecting all neighbors in a unified experience. So, we have lots of questions about what is even allowable under today's Facebook terms. Suggestions on people to connect with?
