I guess having other people see what you’re working on is too threatening for the not-quite open source project TWiki.
It seems that allot of the developers that moved their main attention from TWiki to Foswiki have been kicked out of the public mailing list without warning, explanation or permission.
I guess its somewhat consistent with the password protection of the irc logs of the #twiki channel on Freenode (snigger).
I initially though that my mailing list password had been hacked, or maybe theirs, but thinking further, it feels consistent with the lack of deep understanding of the idea of ‘open’
