[p2pu-dev] FWD: Accessing Member Email Addresses

[Stian Håklev]

Dan,
does this mean that nobody can see the content of the Google group, unless
they are subscribed? You are right, this is quite problematic, since the
whole point of P2PU is that all of our courses are open to anyone, and that
they are archived for posterity, using an open license. Is there a way that
you could make it read -only to the world? I don't believe Google groups
shows the full email of participants through the web interface.
