al@1025 52
pankso@920 53 <p>
pankso@920 54 The discussion/distribution (mailing list) is the main form of communication
pankso@920 55 in the Slitaz community. The list is open to everyone, you are free to
pankso@920 56 subscribe, unsubscribe at any time. It is a very effective means of
pankso@920 57 collaboration, and is used to provide free technical support to users of
pankso@920 58 SliTaz. Developers, advanced users, proofreaders, etc, use the same list to
pankso@920 59 manage the development of the project. Using the same list for support and
pankso@920 60 development allows us to reach a wider audience, resulting in a faster, more
pankso@920 61 accurate response. However, the members on the list are all volunteers and do
pankso@920 62 the best they can based on their free time. Courtesy and politeness are de
pankso@920 63 rigueur and little bit of humour never hurt anyone.
pankso@920 64 </p>
pankso@920 65 <p>
pankso@920 66 The <em>mailing list</em> is used to send messages and receive mail. This
pankso@920 67 means that all registered members can post on the mailing list and receive
pankso@920 68 all messages posted by other members. Messages are sent by the list engine of
pankso@920 69 <a href="http://www.tuxfamily.org/">TuxFamily</a> powered by the excellent
pankso@920 70 <a href="http://www.vhffs.org/">VHFFS</a>.

pankso@920 73 <h4>Civility</h4>
al@1025 74
pankso@920 75 <p>
pankso@920 76 The mailing list is used by some often passionate and sensitive people.
pankso@920 77 Make an extra effort to treat others with respect, even if you feel badly
pankso@920 78 treated yourself. If you have something negative or critical to say, please
pankso@920 79 do not post. If a person looks inappropriate contact a Slitaz developer.

pankso@920 84 <p>
pankso@920 85 To be able to post on the list, you must first subscribe, you will then
pankso@920 86 receive a confirmation message. This mail contains a confirmation number
pankso@920 87 which you need to return to the list administrators (this prevents spam).
pankso@920 88 Once the mail and the confirmation message are received, you can then post
pankso@920 89 on the list and receive all messages that are posted. Note that messages can
pankso@920 90 be filtered by your preferred mail software into a specific directory. It is
pankso@920 91 also advisable to use "Reply", to reply to a message so that the discussion
pankso@920 92 thread can be properly followed.

pankso@920 105 <h4>Format</h4>
al@1025 106
pankso@920 107 <p>
pankso@920 108 Messages should be sent as raw text and not HTML, justifying the lines
pankso@920 109 to 72-80 characters so that people using a mail client in text mode can easily
pankso@920 110 read them. The format for these messages can be done automatically by most
pankso@920 111 good mail clients such as Sylpheed and also allows for more straightforward
pankso@920 112 reading of the archives. It is also advisable to remove unnecessary citations
pankso@920 113 and not to attach large files.

pankso@920 118 <p>
pankso@920 119 The mailing list is a public forum, all messages are archived and are
pankso@920 120 searchable online. This allows the non-registrants to still follow the list,
pankso@920 121 it is also a good resource for information about specific subjects. The list
pankso@920 122 is archived every night and you can easily browse the archive via the
pankso@920 123 list engine of TuxFamily. Messages are sorted by month and date or by
pankso@920 124 discussion thread (<em>Thread</em>) :
