Unlisted topics: Making them more useful

[codinghorror (Jeff Atwood)]

We’re quite an open company, but we have 30+ people who can read our staff message board. Most of the time, we want everyone to see everything, as soon as its posted. But sometimes we want to use Discourse to talk about something among a small group before making the discussion accessible.

Doesn’t Shared Drafts cover this use case more precisely? Do we still need this post-as-unlisted hack?
