the main sadness comes to a lot of friends, sharing on "private/semi public places"
a lots of private pictures, without understanding the damage that they might
receive in case of leaks.

saying "I told you" doesn't help fixing the problem, after a leak has been done
there is nothing left to do to repair it.

being aware of that is the most important thing, and there is nothing to leak when
something is public :)

I don't think I ever requested to have everything public, as said many
times, 3-4 channes should be enough.
I might add #-mentors, where a lot of nice packaging stuff is said,
and should probably made available to google search engine
(as -mentors mail list does).

Newcomers questions/answers are a great value for other people facing
same issues, would be nice to not loose all the answers there.
