Explain public workspaces #118

Open ashes999 opened 9 years ago

ashes999 commented 9 years ago

The Create a Workspace page doesn't mention much about public vs. private workspaces -- all it says is it either Public (open to anyone with the URL), or Private (only accessible to you and people you share it with).

From clicking the Share button, I see three checkboxes, and the ability to check/uncheck depends on the workspace type. This could be clarified so that users actually understand what level of granularity of control they have.

I tried to reach out to c9 at Twitter regarding public workspaces. Anyone with a url to my public workspace can sabotage my code even anonymously. It should be restricted to at least a registered c9-user to be allowed to edit files.

@jkw public/private workspaces are rather similar to public/private repositories on github, everyone can see code in public workspaces but only collaborators can modify it. So no one can sabotage your code.

@nightwing I just noticed. Error on my side, apologies.
