[open-science] Publishing curated email lists

Tue Jun 21 16:28:36 UTC 2016

Hey Josh,

I love this idea and I think it could be valuable. One thing I would
suggest is having an opt-out mechanism available for those who don't want
their email(s) shared publicly.

It may seem counter-intuitive--I think we all know that most email lists
are hardly private--but I also think that for many there's an unspoken
expectation of "this will stay on this list".

My 2c,
Stacy
