New Snow Leopard discussions on Apple's Developer Forums
Apple has relaxed a long-standing policy of restrictiveness regarding open conversation about unreleased versions of Mac OS X by creating a Snow Leopard discussion forum for developers. Historically, Apple has prevented conversation about future versions even among those bound by the same Non-Disclosure Agreement (which proved very challenging in the rampup to the iPhone SDK going public).These new forums aren't available to the public or student developers, so don't begin a fruitless search. Only the developers who receive seed releases (those in Apple's Premier and Select developer programs) have access.
I'm not a member of the ADC. We know that some of you are. What's your take on this? Is it a surprise, and do you plan to make use of the forum? Let us know.

The Snow Leopard developer forums have been up and active since the beginning of March at least...

It wasn't that long ago. I got the email from Michael Jurewitz on April 24/09.
"Starting today, if you're an ADC Seed Key holder (that's someone who already receives seeds of Mac OS X Snow Leopard) you'll be able to access the Apple Developer Forums at https://devforums.apple.com and talk about development on Snow Leopard."

I'm a developer and I've been trying to find any/all snow leopard related things within the ADC and so far I have found nothing.
Could someone post a link to these forums?

They also have a forum about iPhone OS 3.0, which I just found to be very useful. They don't let you forget that anything in that forum is under non-disclosure, though.
