The private@ list is reserved to PPMC members indeed, but it's meant to be used *very* sparingly. Basically only to discuss new candidates before electing them there (to avoid embarassing candidates who might not be elected) and for things that absolutely really totally positively need to be confidential to the PPMC. No technical discussions there, in particular, those must happen in the open. > - one for developers working on Apache NetBeans Yes, the public dev@ list.
