al@1256 39
al@1256 40 <p>
al@1256 41 The discussion/distribution (mailing list) is the main form of communication
al@1256 42 in the Slitaz community. The list is open to everyone, you are free to
al@1256 43 subscribe, unsubscribe at any time. It is a very effective means of
al@1256 44 collaboration, and is used to provide free technical support to users of
al@1256 45 SliTaz. Developers, advanced users, proofreaders, etc, use the same list to
al@1256 46 manage the development of the project. Using the same list for support and
al@1256 47 development allows us to reach a wider audience, resulting in a faster, more
al@1256 48 accurate response. However, the members on the list are all volunteers and do
al@1256 49 the best they can based on their free time. Courtesy and politeness are de
al@1256 50 rigueur and little bit of humour never hurt anyone.
al@1256 51 </p>
al@1256 52 <p>
al@1256 53 The <em>mailing list</em> is used to send messages and receive mail. This
al@1256 54 means that all registered members can post on the mailing list and receive
al@1256 55 all messages posted by other members. Messages are sent by the list engine of
al@1256 56 <a href="http://www.tuxfamily.org/">TuxFamily</a> powered by the excellent
al@1256 57 <a href="http://www.vhffs.org/">VHFFS</a>.

al@1256 60 <h4>Civility</h4>
al@1256 61
al@1256 62 <p>
al@1256 63 The mailing list is used by some often passionate and sensitive people.
al@1256 64 Make an extra effort to treat others with respect, even if you feel badly
al@1256 65 treated yourself. If you have something negative or critical to say, please
al@1256 66 do not post. If a person looks inappropriate contact a Slitaz developer.

al@1256 70
al@1256 71 <p>
al@1256 72 To be able to post on the list, you must first subscribe, you will then
al@1256 73 receive a confirmation message. This mail contains a confirmation number
al@1256 74 which you need to return to the list administrators (this prevents spam).
al@1256 75 Once the mail and the confirmation message are received, you can then post
al@1256 76 on the list and receive all messages that are posted. Note that messages can
al@1256 77 be filtered by your preferred mail software into a specific directory. It is
al@1256 78 also advisable to use "Reply", to reply to a message so that the discussion
al@1256 79 thread can be properly followed.

al@1256 92 <h4>Format</h4>
al@1256 93
al@1256 94 <p>
al@1256 95 Messages should be sent as raw text and not HTML, justifying the lines
al@1256 96 to 72-80 characters so that people using a mail client in text mode can easily
al@1256 97 read them. The format for these messages can be done automatically by most
al@1256 98 good mail clients such as Sylpheed and also allows for more straightforward
al@1256 99 reading of the archives. It is also advisable to remove unnecessary citations
al@1256 100 and not to attach large files.
al@1256 101 </p>

al@1256 104
al@1256 105 <p>
al@1256 106 The mailing list is a public forum, all messages are archived and are
al@1256 107 searchable online. This allows the non-registrants to still follow the list,
al@1256 108 it is also a good resource for information about specific subjects. The list
al@1256 109 is archived every night and you can easily browse the archive via the
al@1256 110 list engine of TuxFamily. Messages are sorted by month and date or by
al@1256 111 discussion thread (<em>Thread</em>) :
