Hi all, I just subscribed myself to the inkscape-board maillist with my @alumnus mail address. But... no confirmation from an admin was needed. Is that working as intended? That anybody can sign up for this particular list? If so, then I guess I will have to communicate differently.
Ciao, Johan

That's how we've had it set up. If people feel strongly that membership should be limited to board members I can drop all non-board members and restrict it.
Note that archives have also been open.

As a community member, I feel strongly the the operation of the board should be transparent to the community. :-)

I think that the board mailing list should be open to all Inkscape developers. The archives should be readable by anyone. If we do have issues that need private discussion then private emails can handle that.

I agree, it just wasn't obvious to me that the list is public. So reminder to self: if something delicate pops up, send private mails to board members.

Sounds good.
Thinking back, we've had good engagement with non-board members on this list in the past; often there's a particular issue we chew on for some time and having the principle advocates for that issue as list members makes communication simpler. So it's good to hear we're in consensus about keeping it public.
