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.

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.

Could someone post a link to these forums?
Yeah, pretty sure they have been up for a while.

"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."
Yes, I need comments for my italian blog, too :-D
