My idea was that LinkedIn is a good way to expose who the 
creators/contributors of KDEPIM  are. Gives a nice overview what kind of 
people, with what skills are working  on KDEPIM. Secondly, a nice side effect 
is (I just discovered) that I (or anyone who manages the group, can redirect 
requests to the facebook group, but more important, redirect people to the 
right channels to actual become a contributor. Request to become a member 
makes it easy to send a personal email back saying something like:

"Hi thanks for your interest. This group is meant for (former) contributers 
but we're always looking for new contributors. So if you're interested 
please have a look there, there and there or contact us such and so."

However, if people in general think this group should be open too, just let 
me know.

Cheers,

Bertjan
