Transparency means (to me) that I get to see inside the machine, that there's a pane of glass at least on one side where I can look in and see "oh, so this is how it works? this is how they they do it?" Transparency (to me) also means that fans have time to voice concerns before things are set in stone and irreversible because of "oh noes" reasons. Transparency (for me) isn't saying "oh hai, we did this and let us give you a crumb of reason for it and now we can't change it" like LJ does it. Transparency (for me) is "this is what we want to do, and why, and now we're wondering what you think about it, to see if we can do this in the best possible way for everyone involved" like DW does it!
