What is sensitive, or personal data, even if not directly violating the NDA(but still something you might not want public) would be in a private chat room.

Anything that is to be private, in a private chatroom. The community issues also can me discussed in Ask Ubuntu Meta

Everyone can take part in it and contribute their opinions. If in the case of sensitive issues, it can be taken over to the private chat.

FEichinger http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/b3c95705dadc56ae2010baf4c122bbad?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG FEichinger answered: I would love to have some kind of dedicated chat for moderators, or any other way of transparently communicating and getting the community involved. That's actually something I should've answered the "What will change?" question with. But I also don't see that happening.

FEichinger http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/b3c95705dadc56ae2010baf4c122bbad?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG FEichinger continued: It would be awesome, and I would immediately be up to it - but for the most part the few people that do get involved on meta are also the same people that can communicate with the mods directly on the General Chat and the such. That is probably a chicken-egg problem, though.

There are way too many forms of communicating right now. So that would not be a problem.

What's important to me is other mods know what I'm doing
