Vibe is more like a support forum than a private enterprise mailing
list, from what I've experienced. In that case, default public is more
suitable.
But it brings an interesting point, which to be honest, I have never
really given much thought. I'm not even sure how it works:
How does "public" work? Is there one "public" for each wave server?
Can I search for public waves at any server I desire? Is this "public"
user/group federated by default, meaning I can search
[email protected] (or whatever), and find all their internal
waves even if I don't have an account there? (which I probably
shouldn't need, just like I don't need a hotmail account in order to
read emails sent from there). Is there any global "public" user/group,
so that I can search for any wave in the world, or do I have to
manually search through all the "public" users/groups that I know
(with:[email protected] OR with:[email protected] OR
with:[email protected])?
I think this depends on which "public" you are using. Because the
federation protocol has no knowledge of groups etc. it will also have no
knowledge of "public". Different servers can have their own
definition(s) of "public". In fact "public" will likely be implemented
as a group that just always say "yes, that user is a part of me"
whenever it is queried. At least that is my understanding of how public
works currently.
For example an enterprises server might have a "internal public" where
anyone with an account on that server can access the wave and a separate
"external public" where anyone with a link to that wave (either found on
the internet or some kind of federated search) can add themselves to it.
This server could default all their waves to "internal public" to
allow others within the company to reply if they feel they could
contribute while still ensuring their internal correspondence is kept
internal.
