So make it world-readable.
I am entirely against any sort of closed private ML. Private but world-readable is a good way to maintain a good S/N while keeping us clean.
On a related note, the fact that there is no public log of the TU IRC channel feels really shady. We don't even discuss "important" secrets like April Fools in the channel, and there is no reason for it to be private. The Gentoo-dev channel (where you must have voice/op to post, but anyone can lurk) is better, transparent and accountable. Closed doors suck.
I agree with you. But arch already have arch-dev which is not public.
That's an interesting point. What if everything we did now on arch-dev would become publicly readable.. that would mean a subgroup of the community would be aware of things such as our finances, who we are considering bringing in as a developer, what's going on with Arch legally, infrastructure related things, security issues or april fools jokes we are working on. I've always wanted to move *some* discussions from arch-dev to arch-dev-public but this is a bit more extreme. Not necessarily bad though, something to ponder. Dieter
