+Mailing lists are the most important communication media in Gentoo. |
| 31 |
+They are used to announce events, discuss changes, review code. Use |
| 32 |
+of mailing lists is explicitly required by some of the processes such |
| 33 |
+as package last rites. |
| 34 |
+</p> |
| 35 |
+ |
| 36 |
+<p> |
| 37 |
+The complete list of Gentoo mailing lists can be found in the |
| 38 |
+<uri link="https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/mailing-lists/">mailing |
| 39 |
+list</uri> section of the Gentoo website. All mailing lists are |
| 40 |
+archived. The archives for the public lists can be found on |
| 41 |
+the <uri link="https://archives.gentoo.org/">mailing list archives</uri> |
| 42 |
+site. The data from the non-public archives can be provided |
| 43 |
+by the Infrastructure team at the request of a developer. |

+<title>Primary developer mailing lists</title> |
| 49 |
+<body> |
| 50 |
+ |
| 51 |
+<p> |
| 52 |
+There are five primary lists intended for Gentoo developers |
| 53 |
+(and contributors): |
| 54 |
+</p> |
| 55 |
+ |
| 56 |
+<ul> |
| 57 |
+ <li>gentoo-core — internal non-public Gentoo developer list</li> |
| 58 |
+ <li>gentoo-dev — public technical discussion list</li> |
| 59 |
+ <li>gentoo-dev-announce — developer announcement list</li> |
| 60 |
+ <li>gentoo-nfp — Gentoo Foundation discussion list</li> |
| 61 |
+ <li>gentoo-project — public non-technical discussion list</li> |
| 62 |
+</ul> |
| 63 |
+ |
| 64 |
+<p> |
| 65 |
+Most of the discussions take place on the gentoo-dev and gentoo-project |
| 66 |
+mailing lists. Strictly technical topics (e.g. ebuild development, |
| 67 |
+system behavior) go into gentoo-dev, while non-technical topics |
| 68 |
+(e.g. organizational matters) go into gentoo-project. Both lists are |
| 69 |
+public and open to everyone. Developers are strongly encouraged |
| 70 |
+to follow these lists. |
| 71 |
+</p> |
| 72 |
+ |
| 73 |
+<p> |
| 74 |
+The gentoo-nfp list is used for affairs strictly related to the Gentoo |
| 75 |
+Foundation. For example, this includes funding and legal affairs. |
| 76 |
+</p> |
| 77 |
+ |
| 78 |
+<p> |
| 79 |
+The gentoo-dev-announce is used for important announcements that affect |
| 80 |
+developers, for example major policy changes, project news. This list |
| 81 |
+is also used to announce last rites and packages needing new |
| 82 |
+maintainers. gentoo-dev-announce is not meant to accept replies, so |
| 83 |
+all messages sent to it must be cross-posted to another mailing list |
| 84 |
+and have their Reply-To header set to that list. Messages without Reply-To |
| 85 |
+are rejected, the remaining messages are moderated to prevent accidental |
| 86 |
+replies from coming through. |
| 87 |
+</p> |
| 88 |
+ |
| 89 |
+<p> |
| 90 |
+The gentoo-core mailing list is restricted to developers. |
| 91 |
+It is generally used when developers wish to share information regarding |
| 92 |
+their personal situation with other developers and to discuss sensitive |
| 93 |
+matters that cannot be published at the time. The list is non-public |
| 94 |
+and it is forbidden to publicly discuss messages from -core, forward |
| 95 |
+them or cross-post to another mailing list. All developers are |
| 96 |
+subscribed to it. |
