The kde-pr list is all but dead and is used (rarely) for PR reviews.

All the discussion that used to happen on kde-pr has been moved here
(or sometimes the closed dot list), and I'm sure most people will
note that I, for one, do not mince words on kde-promo.  :-)

I agree.  Historically, the kde-private list has existed since the
dawn of time and is no secret.  Miguel de Icaza was mighty pissed of
this when he was still trolling the KDE lists/irc.

Of course, Miguel quickly implemented the same thing for GNOME except
that it was worse because he closed off the main gnome-hackers list.
That changed a long time ago, when gnome-hackers was made public, and
they got a proper gnome-private.

Later,
-N.
