If you as a project had a competitor, possibly a proprietary one, would you discuss marketing strategy in public? Would you expect the same from your competitor? This is a purely theoretical issue, but some projects might be facing it. I don't have a clear-cut answer here. Maybe the answer is yes, but in practice journalists expect to use confidential channels. So press/marketing strategy might, and I repeat might, be among the discussions allowed on the private list. Marketing activities instead, as opposed to strategy, must surely be discussed on public lists.
