With 'public' I meant that the main communication tool is the mailing list. There
is a saying "if it's not on the list, it didn't happen".
IRC is fine as backing channel, but there are different time zones etc. It's also not
logged (because freenode has a policy about not logging chats), thus other uses cannot
simply search some archive to find any old information.
It's perfect if you drop a few lines of mail explaining what problem/idea/feature you
are working on and add a pointer to some github repo.
But be aware that you must work alone on that gibhut repo or at least must _not_ accept
patches/pull-requests from non-committers. Otherwise you would not be IP clean. And since
goog vs orcl (Harmony,...) we _really_ care about that!
github is also a great tool, but it doesn't really strengthen the team collaboration
spirit. It's more fore the lone fighter who works on his own...
Maybe I should explain it another way what could happen:
Imagine you get a cool new feature which has a decent complexity. Say 45 classes and 25000
lines of code. And all that in one big merge-commit!
Compare that with work that evolves over a few weeks with 5 people working on it and
adding ideas. There would be much more understanding of the topic in the community and the
quality would also be much better at the end. There will also be much less overlapping
with other features in the project quite naturally...

Why wouldn't this be in the public? The idea is to get people to contribute.
If we need a separate Apache repo for a sandbox, okay fine but then we're
back to the icla issue aren't we?
