63 <h3>About the list</h3>
64 <p>
65 The discussion/distribution (mailing list) is the main form of communication
66 in the Slitaz community. The list is open to everyone, you are free to
67 subscribe, unsubscribe at any time. It is a very effective means of
68 collaboration, and is used to provide free technical support to users of
69 SliTaz. Developers, advanced users, proofreaders, etc, use the same list to
70 manage the development of the project. Using the same list for support and
71 development allows us to reach a wider audience, resulting in a faster, more
72 accurate response. However, the members on the list are all volunteers and do
73 the best they can based on their free time. Courtesy and politeness are de
74 rigueur and little bit of humour never hurt anyone.
75 </p>
76 <p>
77 The <em>mailing list</em> is used to send messages and receive mail. This
78 means that all registered members can post on the mailing list and receive
79 all messages posted by other members. Messages are sent by the list engine of
80 <a href="http://www.tuxfamily.org/">TuxFamily</a> powered by the excellent
81 <a href="http://www.vhffs.org/">VHFFS</a>.
82 </p>
83 <h4>Civility</h4>
84 <p>
85 The mailing list is used by some often passionate and sensitive people.
86 Make an extra effort to treat others with respect, even if you feel badly
87 treated yourself. If you have something negative or critical to say, please
88 do not post. If a person looks inappropriate contact a Slitaz developer.
89 </p>

93 <h3>Using the list</h3>
94 <p>
95 To be able to post on the list, you must first subscribe, you will then
96 receive a confirmation message. This mail contains a confirmation number
97 which you need to return to the list administrators (this prevents spam).
98 Once the mail and the confirmation message are received, you can then post
99 on the list and receive all messages that are posted. Note that messages can
100 be filtered by your preferred mail software into a specific directory. It is
101 also advisable to use "Reply", to reply to a message so that the discussion
102 thread can be properly followed.
103 </p>
104 <ul>
105 <li>Administration Address :
106 <a href="mailto:slitaz-request@lists.tuxfamily.org"
107 >slitaz-request@lists.tuxfamily.org</a></li>
108 <li>Subscribe with the subject : subscribe</li>
109 <li>Unsubscribe with the subject : unsubscribe</li>
110 <li>Help with the subject : help</li>
111 <li>Address to post on the list :

113 </ul>
114 <h4>Format</h4>
115 <p>
116 Messages should be sent as raw text and not HTML, justifying the lines
117 to 72-80 characters so that people using a mail client in text mode can easily
118 read them. The format for these messages can be done automatically by most
119 good mail clients such as Sylpheed and also allows for more straightforward
120 reading of the archives. It is also advisable to remove unnecessary citations
121 and not to attach large files.

125 <h3>Archives of the list</h3>
126 <p>
127 The mailing list is a public forum, all messages are archived and are
128 searchable online. This allows the non-registrants to still follow the list,
129 it is also a good resource for information about specific subjects. The list
130 is archived every night and you can easily browse the archive via the
131 list engine of TuxFamily. Messages are sorted by month and date or by
132 discussion thread (<em>Thread</em>) :
