Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people involved in it. Mailing lists provide a simple and effective communication mechanism.
You are welcome to join any of these mailing lists (or all of them if you wish). You can choose to lurk, or actively participate. It's up to you. Before you join these lists, you should look over the resources in the Reference Library section. As with any mailing list, you should probably read any FAQ postings or simply read a sampling of postings on the list before posting your first question.
Archives are generally named after the project they're about (duh!)
with a suffix that denotes the subjects covered. Common suffixes are:
*-dev Developer list - for technical questions about
the product, code patches, bug submissions about advanced functionality, etc.
*-user, *-users Users list - for general usage questions
about the product from an end-users perspective
*-cvs CVS commit list - this is a read-only list that
sends out email with details of all checkins to that project's CVS repository
The ezmlm mailing list controller accepts commands by sending emails
to listname-command, generally like the following:
*-subscribe Subscribe your current email address to the list
*-unsubscribe UnSubscribe your *current* email address from the list
*-help get Help on mailing list commands
