Given that PHP is an open source language, and I (for one) am part of this list because it's an open source community of sorts, I think it'd be a big step backward to switch to Facebook (I'd rather move towards a more open - and open source - platform instead. Google Groups is marginally better than FB, but it's still a corporate platform). By all means recruit members for an open community (that's separate from FB) *on* Facebook - it is, after all, where many people are (for better or worse) but I think it's a big mistake for an open community to voluntarily develop a dependence on such a closed platform. I'd certainly abandon the group if it was moving that way.
