What sort of tasks would go into such a private space, if one were created?

@ggellerman: any update on this? I have plenty of collab-related work that I am still tracking by email, the sooner this board materializes the better.

@Krenair: sorry, missed your comment. This will be for tasks related to endorsements for proposals under evaluation for funding, discussions on research-related NSA requests, as well as less sensitive stuff.

I don't think less sensitive stuff would be eligible for a private space, I'm not sure about endorsements for proposals under evaluation for funding. Is discussions on research-related NSA requests what I think it is?

+ @Project-Admins

Can we use this task to request the private Space that @DarTar describes in this task's description?

I'd guess so, if someone provided all required data and adjusted the task summary.
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects for what's needed.

(And I guess when you write "board" you mean "Phabricator workboard" which means: project.)

@DarTar Please help me with the project description and suggested name for the project. It looks like that is what we are missing.

@Aklapper Please indicate if there is anything else we need to provide

Project description:

This is a private board used by the Research team for reviewing incoming requests for research collaboration, subject to the WMF open access policy. The board is private because some of these proposals involve a review of private data access requests by the Legal and Security teams or grant proposals that are not yet publicly submitted by the proponents.

no, that's a typo. I meant NDA

So it seems this needs both a (private) Space and a Project.
Public and private tasks will be in the Project. In addition, private tasks will be in the Space (in order to restrict access).

Hence the "Visible To" settings are already covered by the "Editable By" settings.

Thanks @Aklapper, all clear from your instructions.
