Public bug reported:

In https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1072850 we added OpenGraph
tags to the standard Mahara header template. These are primarily
consumed by Facebook when people "share" a URL by pasting it into their
wall or a comment. They provide the following:

1. A name for the page
2. A description of the page
3. An image for the page

The page name comes from $PAGETITLE, the same thing as our <title> tag,
so that's good. It winds up being the site name (configurable via the
admin screens) and the page name.

The Site description, though, is a hard-coded lang string. So, we should
perhaps add an admin config option for that. (Would there be other uses
for it? Would it make sense to vary it on different pages -- like use
the Page description when viewing a Page?)

The logo is the theme's site-logo4facebook.png file. Presumably people
designing their own custom theme know to replace site-logo.png, but we
need to make sure they'll know to replace site-logo4facebook.png as
well. Or change the code to use site-logo.png, if there is no site-
logo4facebook.png present?
