To briefly explain, when you do code audits, you more or less have two choices: - Being involved from the beginning, in the planning all the way through through to release, and then after release - Having a stable codebase that doesn't change, and you work off of that. That isn't to say that you can't audit other times, but doing it those two ways, in my experience, makes it easier on the auditor(s). The files are called user-facing files. :P I think we need an explicit tag on this episode in iTunes. :P Private Messages, phone calls, Instant Messages, etc. do have a reasonable expectation of privacy. (must ... resist ... US law ... speak ...). Just like inside your house in the US, you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, so do private messages. However, just like being in your house, that reasonable expectation of privacy can be changed, legally or illegally.
