    I felt like "liking" Colemak on FB, but there was no page or group for it. Are there any plans to create one?

    There's a Colemak Users group at least - feel free to join us there! :)

    But yeah, there should've been a 'like' page for the layout. Those are usually based on Wikipedia articles though, aren't they? And the Wikipedia article on Colemak hasn't fared so well in the past (it's been killed for containing "original research" and other gripes).

    Well, people can always make their own...

    Then make one! :)

    That is, Shai himself is the only "official" person as far as Colemak is concerned and I haven't seen him on Facebook (I think – that is, I looked into a profile but it seemed abandoned with tumbleweed and crickets and the works). Therefore, any person's as good as the next one. Might as well be you.

    I don't use Facebook, just not a fan of 'putting my stuff out there' but from what it has become, (heck. I went to buy tires for my truck and the store has a facebook page) it would seem to me that there should be an official "Colemak" profile....I don't really think it needs to be maintained. It would be nice if whomever controls the Colemak website made the Facebook page, linked them together (however that works). I don't think it needs any specific content, constant updates. It could be a pointer to the main website. It's a way to gain more exposure for an alternative ergo keyboard layout.

    An Evil Screaming Flying Door Monkey From Hell typing with Colemak saved my life!
