10 I want to thank both you and Duncan for your explaination of how the
11 Haskell overlay works. I would love to get your overlay onto
12 overlays.g.o, without disrupting the working practices that you've
13 found successful.
14
15 Which means we need to take another look at the vision of all overlays
16 being publically readable, because having a non-public overlay seems
17 to be a key part of what you're already doing.
18
19 I really don't want o.g.o to carry 'secret' overlays. But maybe
20 there's a middle ground that fits with what you need?
21
22 If the overlay's changelog is included on o.g.o's front-page, and the
23 wiki / GuideXML site is publically readable, but we just disallow
24 anonymous access to the overlay itself (only if requested, this
25 wouldn't be the default setup) ... how would that work for you?
26
27 Best regards,
28 Stu
