🗒️ Summary of this message: The Lightning community emphasizes the importance of public communication in technical discussions to document options and encourage new participants to contribute.
📝 Original message:
Hi all,

When I joined the lightning community a few years ago, I was relatively new
to open source software and specification work. Rusty really impressed on
me on the importance of holding conversations, as much as possible in
public.

Practically speaking, this encompasses IRC, this mailing list, and github
issues/PRs.

The reason for this is twofold. It helps document the range of options
considered for technical decisions and it provides an interface point for
new participants to contribute to the discussion.

Given some recent mails that were posted to this list, now seems like a
good time to reiterate the importance and preference of public
communication whenever possible, especially for specification or technical
discussions.
