Nick and I were recently removed from the mono-hackers list because we've been helping/participating in the DotGNU/Portable.NET project. This was done because Miguel has confidential information about Mono that he does not want disclosed to the competition. I was under the impression that mono-hackers was created for technical discussions of the development of the Mono runtime, compilers and libraries, however Miguel stated that it is also intended as a place to discuss strategy and to announce Ximian partnerships/contracts with various groups. This is unfortunate in that it limits the amount of community participation in technical discussions.
I would suggest the creation of a new list, perhaps hosted by sourceforge or another similar group affiliated with the community. This list would be open to all developers and important discussions relating to the technical details and plans for the runtime, classlibs, and compiler could be discussed there. Ximian could use mono-hackers (or it's predecessor: ximian-mono-list) to relate confidential information and technical discussions could still go on with the full participation of the community.
