[LON-CAPA-dev] Public Lists

[Felicia Berryman]

Hi Scott,

Guy asked that all lists be publically accessible on the web at one of
our Tuesday meetings.  He explained to me that her prefers to keep
things as open as possible until there is a problem and I agreed with
him.  The code is open source, I don't see why discussing the code
should be in private - just my opinion.  Please reply to Guy if you have
further difficulties with this.  If Guy tells me to change the settings,
then I will.
