[kwlug-disc] Organizing: Transparent or secure?

I'm an "Open Everything To The World" kinda guy. Maybe don't publish
organizational info on the front page of the website, but don't
require logins to read it either. Do require logins to make
Adds/Changes/Deletions, which should keep the griefers out (and don't
have self-registration, but require an "ask" by e-mail or comment).
I'm OK with my name and e-mail addressed being published on the
Internet, but I know that's not for everybody.

I was participating in the Kanban board, and I think it's still worth
some effort. I've just been a bit too busy lately to spend much time
on it. http://todo.kwlug.org/dashboard
