8 Wrong! So very very wrong! I can say from personal experience that things
9 shared on a -core list are in 98% of the time (I did the math at one point)
10 are in no way beneficial to the community. The interpersonal relationships
11 example was just that -- an example. Core lists are generally very
12 internal issues: e.g. discussing potential new developers, ranting about
13 idiot users (I hope I didn't make it on that list! :), internal
14 happy-birthdays, etc. This is *NOT* anything the community wants to nor
15 should see.
16
17 I'm for keeping -core completely private. And a big thank you to the
18 developers that do share some *DEV* issues on -dev.

20 p.s./shameless plug:
21 if you're wondering, I'm on Horde -core list (www.horde.org).
