Therefore, email is the preferred way to discuss + various items. Much of the conversation between Debian developers + and users is managed through several mailing lists. + + There are many world-open mailing lists, meaning anyone can read + everything that is posted, and participate in the discussions. Everyone is + encouraged to help development of Debian and to spread the word of free + software. There are also a few lists which are only open to official Debian + developers; please don't interpret this as closed development, it sometimes + doesn't make much sense discussing internal topics with non-developers. + + All original Debian mailing lists run on a special server, using an + automatic mail processing software called SmartList. This server is called + lists.debian.org. All submission, subscription and unsubscription messages + have to be sent to a particular address at this host. + + The language used on all lists is English, unless stated otherwise. + There are some user lists for other languages available. + +Subscription / Unsubscription +----------------------------- + + Anyone is able to subscribe/unsubscribe on their own to any mailing list, + presuming the subscription policy for a particular list is `open'. + + The requests for subscription or unsubscription can be sent to a special + control address, which is slightly different from the list address. + Subscription or unsubscription messages should NOT be sent to the address + of the mailing list itself. + + To subscribe or unsubscribe from a mailing list, please send mail to + + <listname>-REQUEST@lists.debian.org + + with the word `subscribe' or `unsubscribe' as subject. + + Please remember the -REQUEST part of the address. + + As part of the subscription process, the list software will send you an + email to which you must reply in order to finish subscribing. This is a + security measure to keep people from subscribing others to the lists without + their permission. + + If you need to contact a human listmaster, direct your mail to + listmaster@lists.debian.org . To find out who is responsible for the + lists, take a look at http://www.debian.org/intro/organization + +User lists + + There are several user based mailing lists where developers and + users can get in contact to discuss and solve problems. + + debian-announce@lists.debian.org + + Description : Major news and very important changes in the project + are announced here. + Moderated : yes + Subscription: open + + debian-backports-announce@lists.debian.org + + Description : Announcements relating to the debian-backports project include security related announcements + Moderated : yes + Subscription: open + + debian-backports@lists.debian.org + + Description : Discussion about the debian-backports archive + Moderated : no + Subscription: open + + debian-chinese-big5@lists.debian.org + + Description : Debian Chinese Project: Chinese localization (l10n), + documentation and web site translation, user support + etc. + + Posts may be in English or Big5-encoded Chinese. + All posts are automatically converted to GB encoding + and cross-posted to the debian-chinese-gb mailing list. + + If you would rather read and post in GB-encoded + Chinese, please subscribe to debian-chinese-gb instead. + Language : Chinese + Moderated : subscribers + Subscription: open + + debian-chinese-gb@lists.debian.org + + Description : Debian Chinese Project: Chinese localization (l10n) + issues, documentation and web site translation, user + support etc. + + Posts may be in English or GB-encoded Chinese. + All posts are automatically converted to Big5 encoding + and cross-posted to the debian-chinese-big5 mailing list. + + If you would rather read and post in Big5-encoded + Chinese, please subscribe to debian-chinese-big5 instead. + Language : Chinese + Moderated : subscribers + Subscription: open + + debian-edu-announce@lists.debian.org + + Description : Announcements regarding Skolelinux/debian-edu + Moderated : yes + Subscription: open + + debian-enterprise@lists.debian.org + + Description : Discussions about special needs in enterprise + environments and ways to fulfill those needs. + Moderated : no + Subscription: open + + debian-esperanto@lists.debian.org + + Description : Debian users who speak Esperanto. + Language : Esperanto + Moderated : no + Subscription: open + + debian-firewall@lists.debian.org + + Description : Discussion of implementation and maintenance of + firewalls using Debian.
