We need to make sure that users are aware about the information they are putting together visibly in their profiles, in tag based listings and in the admins interface. We are using very extrovert tools like Bugzilla or Gerrit, which allow others to check e.g. your email address. This project won't push the transparency further but might make it more evident.
A potential solution for this is to identify the factors of privacy you want for your data:
- Visible in profile Y/N.
- Visible in lists Y/N.
- Subscribed to notifications Y/N.
Some data WILL be public e.g. tasks assigned. We are doing this already now.
