Thanks for asking Fabio,

Yes, all contributions that an applicant considers to be part of their
application should be shared on this list.

There's always an exception! Perhaps if a mentor gives out a small
task for which a posting to this list would spoil the task for others,
only gets sent to the mentor(s). I expect project mentors would tell
you that case explicitly.

We like to see everything you all are doing and we want the list archive 
to accurately reflect all contributions and communications.
