It was really interesting to read the article "The Curious Side Effects of Medical Transparency" as an Open Source developer. The feelings the doctor describes are deeply familiar to me, as we struggle with transparency in open source projects.

These aren't original thoughts, but I don't know how we adequately manage psychological safety while working in the open. You want your team to be able to share ideas, and have discussions without worrying about harrasment or someone misconstruing (intentionally perhaps) the words being used.

At the same time, the whole point of being open is that there's value in open community; if planning happens exclusively in private there's no opportunity to for the community to provide input or to even come to your aid.

I wish I had good answers, or original thoughts here, but I don't, and I'd be happy to read thoughts from anyone who does have answers or good practices.
