Amen. I think that's what 'open' in 'open source' is supposed to mean.

While there nothing wrong with people setting up their own private communication channels, it raises a concern regarding decision making policy. So far we have been quite informal in our development process without minimal rules & policy documents. Its even possible we discussed this already, but I couldn't find any information on it, only [0] which doesn't cover very much. I'd be more comfortable that developers are part of private groups like this if we had a policy similar to the Apache software project, that is: "Project technical decisions MUST be made and communicated on public and archived places." [1] This is formalizing what we're already doing (for the most part), on the mailing lists and developer.blender.org. I'm proposing to update our policy document to include this text.
