There are a ton of reasons not to develop in the open, no matter what your structure.<p>- You&#x27;re experimenting
 - You don&#x27;t want comments from the peanut gallery while things are in progress
 - It is not for external use, specific to an institution or project, or otherwise nobody else will care
 - It deals with something sensitive
 - You&#x27;ve made an agreement with someone else that requires it
 - etc. etc. etc.<p>People seem to have weird notions about nonprofits. Your tax structure doesn&#x27;t change the fact that you operate in a world of other human beings.
