I definitely echo Aaron's reasons for wanting all lists to be public.  
How about creating a hcoop-private list that is "invitation only" and 
would be approximately just board members and people in particular 
volunteer roles?

It seems like docelic is the only person left with any objections to 
using a completely open hcoop-sysadmin for messages that don't fit into 
one of ntk's problem areas (discussing security vulnerabilities and 
discussing negotiations with upstream providers).  Or maybe I've lost 
touch with his real feelings there.  I just know that docelic recently 
sent a message to a manual list of recipients that just listed some bugs 
he had found in the stuff set up on the new systems.  I asked him to 
re-send it to hcoop-sysadmin, and I've interpreted his lack of reply to 
that as a message that he disagrees but doesn't want to argue about it.  
However, since I think we have some people who view transparency of all 
admin processes as important, I think this issue deserves an explicit 
discussion.

So, docelic, would you be OK with my creating a hcoop-private list to be 
used ONLY for messages falling into the categories that ntk discussed, 
and using hcoop-sysadmin for any other admin-related messages?
