Appendix C. Resources on the Internet
The rapid pace of FreeBSD progress makes print media impractical as a means of following the latest developments. Electronic resources are the best, if not often the only, way stay informed of the latest advances. Since FreeBSD is a volunteer effort, the user community itself also generally serves as a ``technical support department'' of sorts, with electronic mail and USENET news being the most effective way of reaching that community. The most important points of contact with the FreeBSD user community are outlined below. If you are aware of other resources not mentioned here, please send them to the FreeBSD documentation project mailing list so that they may also be included. C.1 Mailing ListsThough many of the FreeBSD development members read USENET, we cannot always guarantee that we will get to your questions in a timely fashion (or at all) if you post them only to one of the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.* groups. By addressing your questions to the appropriate mailing list you will reach both us and a concentrated FreeBSD audience, invariably assuring a better (or at least faster) response. The charters for the various lists are given at the bottom of this document. Please read the charter before joining or sending mail to any list. Most of our list subscribers now receive many hundreds of FreeBSD related messages every day, and by setting down charters and rules for proper use we are striving to keep the signal-to-noise ratio of the lists high. To do less would see the mailing lists ultimately fail as an effective communications medium for the project. Archives are kept for all of the mailing lists and can be searched using the FreeBSD World Wide Web server. The keyword searchable archive offers an excellent way of finding answers to frequently asked questions and should be consulted before posting a question. C.1.1 List SummaryGeneral lists: The following are general lists which anyone is free (and encouraged) to join:
Technical lists: The following lists are for technical discussion. You should read the charter for each list carefully before joining or sending mail to one as there are firm guidelines for their use and content.
Limited lists: The following lists are for more specialized (and demanding) audiences and are probably not of interest to the general public. It is also a good idea to establish a presence in the technical lists before joining one of these limited lists so that you will understand the communications etiquette involved.
Digest lists: All of the above lists are available in a digest format. Once subscribed to a list, you can change your digest options in your account options section. CVS lists: The following lists are for people interested in seeing the log messages for changes to various areas of the source tree. They are Read-Only lists and should not have mail sent to them.
C.1.2 How to SubscribeTo subscribe to a list, click on the list name above or go to http://lists.FreeBSD.org/mailman/listinfo and click on the list that you are interested in. The list page should contain all of the necessary subscription instructions. To actually post to a given list you simply send mail to <listname@FreeBSD.org>. It will then be redistributed to mailing list members world-wide. To unsubscribe yourself from a list, click on the URL found at the bottom of every email received from the list. It is also possible to send an email to freebsd-[listname]-unsubscribe@FreeBSD.org to unsubscribe yourself. Again, we would like to request that you keep discussion in the technical mailing lists on a technical track. If you are only interested in important announcements then it is suggested that you join the FreeBSD announcements mailing list, which is intended only for infrequent traffic. C.1.3 List ChartersAll FreeBSD mailing lists have
certain basic rules which must be adhered to by anyone using them. Failure to comply with
these guidelines will result in two (2) written warnings from the FreeBSD Postmaster
Rules of the road:
Individual list charters:
C.1.4 Filtering on the Mailing ListsThe FreeBSD mailing lists are filtered in multiple ways to avoid the distribution of spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. The filtering actions described in this section do not include all those used to protect the mailing lists. Only certain types of attachments are allowed on the mailing lists. All attachments with a MIME content type not found in the list below will be stripped before an email is distributed on the mailing lists.
If an email contains both an HTML and a plain text version, the HTML version will be removed. If an email contains only an HTML version, it will be converted to plain text. This, and other documents, can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/. For questions about FreeBSD, read the documentation before contacting <questions@FreeBSD.org>. |
