Facebook Metadata styling
I've been working on a feature that means when you copy a loomio link into facebook, facebook will display the loomio logo and also go and get the title and desciption of a page.
I need help clarifying what the text content should be
public pages
will just pull the title/name of the discussion/group being linked. the description will likewise be specific to that page
e.g.
private pages
will not pull any specific data but rather display a generic title and description. e.g.
(the graph image will be the loomio logo)
any amendments to:
Title : Loomio
Description : Creating a world where it’s easy for anyone to participate in decisions that affect them.
Page not found
currently
title = 'Loomio'
description = 'This discussion does not exist. It may have been deleted. Please check your link.'

This looks really good John, I like the wording as is. So fancy. I'd be happy for it to roll out like this, but maybe we can tweak it slightly, e.g.:
- the Title for public discussion pages could include the group name, {Group Name}: {Group Discussion}
- the Title for private pages might be a bit clearer if it was like "Loomio (private group)"
What do you think?

I thought about this,
the public discussion suggestion is doable, but might mean titles that are too long ?
the Loomio (private group) title is probably doable but might be a second iteration at this point as the controllers are juggling the view around in the background and i'm not sure how to pass the data along that chain well
