Not going to mention what I have experienced with other communities but
what I have done with Ubuntu GNONE since July 2013 until now, has been done
by using:

Mainly the mailing list(s).
And, sometimes IRC.

Social Media has been used for informal discussions using my own personal
accounts.

For Ubuntu GNOME Social Media Channels, that's something else.

I didn't need to use ANY other tool/channel/platform.

Feel free to organize your sub-teams the way you see fit, guys. I have
nothing against that. That is why, on the first place, we have drivers/team
leaders and have sub-teams.

Ditto.

Please, keep in mind thIat our MAIN OFFICIAL channels of communications
will remain:


   - Mailing List(s).
   - IRC

I'm talking about the Internal Communications between us, the members of
this family.


For the external communications, everyone can see the Contact Us page on
our Wiki area.

As I said, you have my +1 when it comes to organize and lead your sub-team
the way you see fit :)

Sorry, I can't be on more channels at the moment. I have more than enough
to handle.
