Yeah, I didn’t see any ways to make it more public when I checked the settings.

The ‘external network’ on Yammer seems like it is invitation only from what I can tell — which isn’t all that helpful.

So the Yammer thing may be a failed experiment — feel free to suggest better places to have discussions like this.

I don’t think it’s designed to be. But I’m not on yammer anyways, so I can’t check.

It isn’t intentionally ironic

I wanted to try out new discussion options since there hasn’t been a lot of traction using mailing lists for these sorts of conversations.

The Yammer thing may be a completely failed experiment for this, but it seemed worth trying.

When I set up that group, Yammer seemed to be saying it would be public. I’m new to Yammer so maybe I set it up wrong. Do you know if having a public Yammer forum is even possible to do?

Indeed, if you load the Yammer link it says “Please verify your authorized email address to join this Yammer Network:”, with a hoverpopup that says “authorized” means an @mozilla.com address.

Oversight?

“post to the Contribute Group on Yammer”

Oh the irony, calling for community feedback on yammer.
