I review each project's private lists for exactly this sort of thing as part of my preparation for the monthly board meeting. If I spot threads on private@ that should be on dev@ I note it in the feedback. I don't recall this happening for multiple reports in a row for any project. > I guess my reason for that remark, and my question here, is to what > degree do we want to *compel* this behavior? To date, gentle nudging as part of board report feedback seems to be working. If it didn't work then I expect a board member would get an action to engage more directly with the project to find out what was going on and steer things in the right direction. If the problems continued I can think of a couple of ways to force correction of this behaviour. However, I suspect that if a project got to the point where the board felt such action was necessary, the project almost certainly would have much bigger problems than excessive use of private lists.
