Public Evis on Private Profiles and visa versa
Public idea posted on Tue, 18 May 2010 by Simon Redfern
I'm wondering if we should be able to have private evis on a public profile and visa versa.
For instance there is a Profile called OpenBankProject which is private. Most of its for internal discussion but it would be nice to have some public evis from it too e.g. press releases or just things that you want to discuss publically. For now i created another profile OpenBankProjectInfo which is public - but that actually misses the members of the orginal group, its followers, its style settings and so on.
So how about this:

So how about this:
For a private profile,
- evis are private by default but each one can be separately changed to public
- anyone can "follow" a private profile but the follower only gets public evis unless the follow is confirmed by the profile.
- only public evis are searchable by the public
- evis are public by default but each evis can be separatly changed to private
- a private evis would only flow to a confirmed listener (this would infer a "confirm" of all profiles, not just strict ones)
- only public evis are searchable by the public
Sounds not too bad! But I think it might be better to keep things simple, so maybe only the private profile - public evis option and leave out the make private in a public profile for now. Also, it might be weird if an existing evis can be changed to public after it was private, since it might publish data that people added (comments, ...) without them agreeing. So it should only be possible to make an evis public when you create it, and possibly make it private again later if you want.
