I'd be ok with ircnick being public too I suppose. I don't feel strongly about it though. ;) I think we should clarify the email sentence tho. It says: "The only exception to this is for your email address, which may still be visible in some Fedora services such as Bugzilla." I think we should amend it to say: "The only exception to this is for your email address, which will be publicly available." Possibly adding a 'Fedora is a open community and identifies it's contributors by their email address, thus it's important to make this information available' or something. Also, should we note something about usernames? > We probably should also ask the Board (and > Community) if there are any other changes they want to make to the > privacy policy at the same time, since we have to make a big noise > every time we change it (even for a minor change like this). Yeah. I wonder, should we consider badges?
