I think both ways.  Its easy access to have the project on /my, on the other 
hand, if you're working on another project with a friend, and your friend is 
not supposed to know about the private project, it gets complicated.

I guess it depends on "how private" a project /really/ is.  Maybe the project 
admin could have a setting for the project, or you could just leave it as it 
is, since then individual developers might want to turn this off for a given 
project.

Anyway, I guess its a political decisition - is there any documents on the 
politics / filosofy of Savannah that covers this issue?

In fact, this was in the task list.

Personnally I think that since a user is logged, project, private or no, should 
be showed on his personnal page.

This high security issue is user loggin and not private/not private project, no 
?

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Originally Private projects were really 
intended to be as hidden as possible and as secure as possible. Therefore they 
are not even shown on your personal page. I guess the motivation was security: 
even if you forgot to logout before leaving a desktop machine nobody can guess 
what the private projects are.

I agree it's a bit paranoid but it is safer. I'm not sure we want to modify 
this feature, do we?

I'm not able to test this, I'm not member of any private project.
