I guess I'll take a stab at offering a starting point for social media posting guidelines. When I had access to post to the Boost_Libraries account there were basically two kinds of posts. Official communications from the Developers, and unofficial but relevant announcements. The Developers are defined as the set of members of the boostorg GitHub organization who have the Owner role, plus any proxies they authorize. Official communications include: * When a review starts https://twitter.com/Boost_Libraries/status/1622664075217092609 * When review results are available https://twitter.com/Boost_Libraries/status/1768833941341896756 * When a Boost release is published (usually 3 a year): https://twitter.com/Boost_Libraries/status/1735542393229967849 * When a change in policy for the libraries happens: https://twitter.com/Boost_Libraries/status/1633484289693339648 Official communications are identifiable by the Boost logo watermark appearing at a prescribed location and size in the color Boost Mustard. Examples of unrelated but relevant announcements include: https://twitter.com/Boost_Libraries/status/1716891934986530946 https://twitter.com/Boost_Libraries/status/1748504615371334006 Unofficial posts should have images if possible, but never with a Boost logo watermark, to denote that the post does not presume to speak for or have an association with the Developers. Anyway, these are the set of rules I informally invented when I had posting privileges to Boost_Libraries. I always checked with other developers before posting anything, especially for unofficial posts to ensure that the content was relevant to Boost in some fashion. This could be used as the starting point for explaining the guidelines for operating official Boost accounts. There is a page in the new site docs (a work in progress for sure) which is intended to capture these guidelines in a way that is easily understood by readers: https://www.boost.io/doc/contributor-guide/tweeting.html Disclaimer: That page is probably not be up to date, and is not the product of a consensus-driven process. But it can be, someone just needs to volunteer to do the work. Thanks
