Actually, I'll probably be pretty public about the APIs. They won't be truly "open" for quite a while yet (not until I can figure out how to do so without breaking my monetization, and not until I think they are stable enough), but I'm not going to try to hide them -- security through obscurity is never a good idea.
So while the discussion group will probably be closed, I probably won't be trying too hard to lock the API docs themselves down.
As for the reports of abuse from elsewhere -- definitely true, and I'm already working on clamping down on the more obvious abuse vectors. This is more going to be people looking at the APIs, and pointing out places where I may not have thought about issues. So yes, kibitzing will be welcome. (And we'll see if I can tempt you in. While I'm under no illusions that everyone is going to use CommYou instead of LJ, I *am* planning on doing some things better.)
