Yeah, for now we will not be having private groups. I thought it would be fine, but there were some pretty good arguments that were made that made me change my mind. So for now at the very least everything will be open to the public. There are a certain level of options I can play with on visibility. So I may explore those at some point.

If you have an idea for how it could work out then you're welcome to put it down in the suggested features thread. We can hammer out some details and see if there is something workable. But I make no promises.
