[liberationtech] archives public

[Brian Conley]

I agree with you generally Jillian, but perhaps the list guidelines should
be changed to simply make the archives public?

In the interest of simplicity and transparency to users, this is probably
the best solution. Currently individuals who are more knowledgeable have
more access, while those who are less knowledgeable may have incorrect
assumptions about the safety/security of the content of their emails to the
list.

This is starting to feel a bit like the crux of that cryptocat
 conversation, no?
