Securesite module can do Basic Auth protected feeds today. It needs  
updating to 4.7. i.e. subscribe to your private OG feeds and see them  
in your desktop RSS reader.

The scope is meant to be non-development, although we do stray into  
solutions. An intro to your commercial activity with an invite to  
continue the discussion offlist is appropriate. Discussion about,  
e.g. single sign on solutions, best practices around running multiple  
sites, etc. have already come up on this list, so yes, this is  
appropraite.
