An option could be to enable moderation on dev-public, still defaulting to rejecting everything, but allow through high-quality contributions from the outside. I agree that we should create a venue for would-be contributors to engage with us, but i also agree that we don't want to end up with non constructive content in dev-public, and we don't want to waste time on justifying rejecting/banning things (it should stay high-quality and low volume as we expect all devs and all users of testing to read it thoroughly). I don't know the best solution, just throwing out an idea. Tom
