What to you think about this idea?...
I'm thinking it might be good to have a forum for commercial use of
Racket (consultants, employees, employers) to compare notes amongst
themselves, with a bit more privacy, and a lot lower traffic than the
current email lists.
I'm not clear why privacy / secrecy would be beneficial for a list
like this (or how it would even be possible).
We have at least 2 people who say that (for whatever reason) they might
speak more candidly in a forum that's not, say, publicly archived. If
those people participate more in such a less-public forum than they
would in a more-public forum, I'd say having the less-public forum is
beneficial in that regard. (One could argue that there'd be greater
benefit by sharing info publicly, but I'd say that racket-users already
provides that option -- one could say that racket-money provides an
option to share info less-publicly that otherwise wouldn't be shared at
all.)
I think the privacy is plausibly possible, if we tell everyone from the
start that discussion on the list is expected to be private, and we
expect people to respect that.
We'll see how it goes. I figure it's worth a try.
(Coincidentally, I just finished adding "racket-money" to Google Groups,
thinking the comments had all come in. I decided to simplify. Will
post about it shortly.)
