YES ! Open to all ... even list-lurkers (like me).
My Q: Why have four lists ? Amalgamate all and have just one
with all components shared. There is so much cross-over of the
material that there is hardly a single post which can be stated
to be specific for any of the sub groups ... the volumes too
are not much bothersome, as of now ;-)

Closed ? No way ... that would be 'blasphemy' ;-) In no way can
we compromise the spirit of Open Source. Just a reminder of our
QRs from the opening page of openehr.org:
