Is it just because of the great job NasaSpaceFlight.com does or is NASA much more open about it's processes as it makes the critial go/no-go decisions?
Or both?
NASA has been very open since Columbia, I'm not sure that the existance of this website makes Wayne Hale more likely to spill all than if this site didn't exist. Remember 99% of the media still has no idea (or care) that L2 is around, nor the documents on it are available publicly.
I think it is both, NASA is much more open after Columbia, but I am pretty sure this site helps to ensure it stays that way

Perhaps, but it depends on what scope one means. I think "NASA" or the shuttle program or USA (as a whole) are largely unaware of the existence of this site, even though it's obvious that via this site we see the cooperation of many personnel from those organizations.
