I've been trying to figure out how to do marketing of the wiki without using social media, or whether it would be a good idea to put "like/+1" buttons on our pages. That seems like a lot of unnecessary user tracking, or a bit of javascript hackery.

Ultimately, what it comes down to is that I really do not like Facebook. I have an account that I check every six months or so for messages, but the site is really boring. And any plan that requires me to login to the facebook is going to end in failure.

So what we have is three admins who don't want to be on Facebook, but a feeling that it's necessary to do so to promote the site. Something seems innately wrong about that. But suffice to say, if anyone wants to create a page on Facebook for us, go ahead—So long as you'll enjoy maintaining it.
