Please let us or Zulip developers know if there's any problems with this. The previous solution to the web-public view was the zulip archive, which now redirects to the web public view. + +## The `t-all/private` channel +All Rust Project team members are automatically subscribed to the private [`t-all/private`](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/546943-all.2Fprivate) channel. This channel can be used as a way to contact all Project members, and should serve as a more reliable alternative to the `all@rust-lang.org` mailing list, where e-mails often end up in spam. + +This channel should primarily be used for two kinds of topics: +1) Information that is *only* relevant to the Rust Project and no one else + - For example: tell people about changes in the `team` database or the Rust website that might be interesting to them +2) Information that should only be shared within the Project and not outside + - For example: sharing Project-wide surveys that should not be filled by people outside the Project + +In both mentioned cases above, this channel should only be used when the message is relevant to the Project as a whole (and not e.g. only to a single team). Other communication should preferably be done through public and more scoped channels.
