Mailing lists for projects

netlabs.org provides some mailing lists for its projects. Usually the name is projectname-dev and projectname-user. As you can imagine, the -dev list is ment for developers and the -user list for users of the project itself. Please respect that separation and do not post user questions in the developer list!

To post a message to the list, send an email to <listname>@netlabs.org
To subscribe, email: <listname>-subscribe@netlabs.org
To unsubscribe, email: <listname>-unsubscribe@netlabs.org
For additional commands, email: <listname>-help@netlabs.org

We also provide digest lists:

To subscribe to the digest, email: <listname>-digest-subscribe@netlabs.org
To unsubscribe from the digest, email: <listname>-digest-unsubscribe@netlabs.org

Replace <listname> for example with xworkplace-dev in the items above.

-The website for the community mailinglist is:
-http://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.community/cutoff=1
-=== gmane.org: Newsgroup interface & web archive ===
-To make sure that everyone can access the mailinglists easily we also provide a newsgroup interface at http://gmane.org where you can read and post messages to the lists.<br/>
-gmane.org is an excellent service that provides a newsgroup interface for subscribed mailinglists. Also it acts as an archive for the list and they provide a very simple to use webinterface where you can also post messages if you wish.
-All mailinglists at netlabs.org are subscribed in our own netlabs hierarchy: [http://news.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.org.netlabs gmane.org.netlabs]
-You can either read them with your prefered newsreader or via the web interface. The newsserver is news://news.gmane.org
-You can also post to the lists without a subscription to the list itself! The first time you post a message via news you will get a confirmation email so it is necessary that you provide a valid email address in your news settings. Once you confirmed that email you will be able to post messages to the list wihtout a real subscription to the mailinglist itself. Note that you '''have''' to provide a '''valid''' email address in your newsreader for sure, otherwise it will not work.
-Enjoy!
