    <p>
    Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people involved in 
    it. Mailing lists provide a simple and effective communication 
    mechanism.
  </p>
    <p>
    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.
  </p>
    <section id="usage">
      <title>Usage Notes</title>
      <p>
      Archives are generally named after the project they're about (duh!) 
      with a suffix that denotes the subjects covered.  Common suffixes are:
      <br/>
        <code>*-dev</code> Developer list - for technical questions about 
      the product, code patches, bug submissions about advanced functionality, etc.
      <br/>
        <code>*-user, *-users</code> Users list - for general usage questions
      about the product from an end-users perspective
      <br/>
        <code>*-cvs, *-commits</code> SVN commit list - this is a read-only list that 
      sends out email with details of all checkins to that project's SVN repository
    </p>
      <p>
      The ezmlm mailing list controller accepts commands by sending emails 
      to <code>listname-command</code>, generally like the following:
      <br/>
        <code>*-subscribe</code> Subscribe your current email address to the list
      <br/>
        <code>*-unsubscribe</code> UnSubscribe your *current* email address from the list
      <br/>
        <code>*-help</code> get Help on mailing list commands
