[Callers] Re: List archives

There are 2 different elements of a group that can be made private. There is the archive of past messages and then there is the group itself. I would suggest that even if the archives are made private, so that only group members can access them, that the groups should still be listed in the Groups.io directory. That would mean that people looking for dance related groups could find them and apply to join. Of course, if the intention is that only CDSS members can join the groups then I suppose they shouldn't be listed in the directory and links to the groups could be available in CDSS Commons where CDSS members can log in and then apply to join one or more lists.
