Mailing Lists
Mailing lists are interactive or digest-form electronic discussions about nearly
any topic. To use a mailing list, you must generally send an email request to
be subscribed to the list and then verify the subscription with a return message
from the master list mailer. After you subscribe to an interactive form of list,
each message sent to the list will appear in your email inbox. However, many
lists provide a digest form of subscription, in which a single- or half-day’s
traffic is condensed in a single message. The digest form is generally
preferred unless you have set up email filtering.
The main Ubuntu mailing lists are detailed here, but there are quite a few
Linux-related lists. You can search for nearly all online mailing lists by using
a typical mailing list search web page, such as the one at
http://www.lsoft.com/lists/list_q.html.
GNOME AND KDE MAILING LISTS
GNOME users and developers should know that more than two dozen
mailing lists are available through http://mail.gnome.org. KDE users will
also benefit by perusing the KDE-related mailing lists at
http://www.kde.org/mailinglists.html. Many open source projects run mailing
lists. If there is a project that really interests you, search online to see if it
has a mailing list available, especially if you are interested in contributing
time or helping develop the software.
Ubuntu Project Mailing Lists
Email mailing lists are also available as an outlet or forum for discussions
about Ubuntu. The lists are categorized. For example, general users of Ubuntu
discuss issues on the ubuntu-users mailing list, beta testers and
developers via the ubuntu-devel mailing list, and documentation
contributors via the ubuntu-doc mailing list. You can subscribe to mailing
lists by selecting the ones you are interested in at
