  46. <p>The mailing lists are the heart of the Boost community.&nbsp; You may
  47. read the lists via full-content email, email digests, or via newsgroup
  48. reader.</p>
  49. <p>Hosting for the mailing lists is donated by the <a href="http://www.osl.iu.edu/">
  50. Open Systems Lab at Indiana University</a>.</p>
  51. <p>Access to Boost mailing lists via newsgroup (NNTP) is contributed by
  52. <a href="http://www.gmane.org/">GMANE</a>.</p>
  53. <h2>Boost <a name="users">Users</a> mailing list (also available via
  54. newsgroup)</h2>
  55. <p>This list is oriented toward casual users of the Boost
  56. libraries.&nbsp;It is a good place to start if you are having trouble
  57. getting started with Boost or its individual libraries. Feel free to post
  58. both "newbie" and more challenging questions, but please check first to
  59. see if there's an appropriate <a href="#projects">Project-Specific</a>
  60. list; you'll often get better answers in a forum dedicated to your
  61. problem area.&nbsp; This list is relatively low volume (less than 500 per
  62. month).&nbsp; Subscribe or unsubscribe at the <a href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users" >Boost Users
  63. list home page</a>.</p>
  64. <p>For those who prefer to participate via an NNTP (<a name=users_newsgroup >newsgroup</a>) interface, a gateway to the Boost Users
  65. mailing list is available at <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user" >news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user</a>.
  66. Please see <a href="#gmane_post">this note</a> before posting to the
  67. newsgroup. You can also browse <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.user" >Gmane's
  68. searchable archive</a>.</p>
  69. <h2><a name="main">Boost</a> developers mailing list (also available via
  70. newsgroup)</h2>
  71. <p>This is the main Boost mailing list.&nbsp; It is high volume (over
  72. 1000 messages per month), very technical, and oriented toward Boost
  73. library developers. It is also read by many other members interested in
  74. watching the Boost library development process.&nbsp; Virtually all Boost
  75. decisions, major or minor, technical or otherwise, are reached via public
  76. discussion on this mailing list.&nbsp; It is where the formal reviews of
  77. proposed libraries take place. Subscribe or unsubscribe at <a href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost" >http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost</a></p>
  78. <p>When we talk about the "members of Boost", we are talking about those
  79. signed up for this main mailing list.</p>
  80. <p>For those who prefer to participate via an NNTP (<a name=newsgroup >newsgroup</a>) interface, a gateway to the Boost mailing list
  81. is available at <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel" >news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel</a>.</p>
  82. <p><b><a name="gmane_post">Note:</a></b> Postings to the newsgroup will
  83. only be accepted for the mailing list if from a <a href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost" >subscribed</a> email
  84. address, though you can configure your subscription settings to disable
  85. mail delivery if you prefer to read messages via the newsgroup. Don't be
  86. fooled by GMane's authentication message which says "you are now
  87. authorized to post to this list" after you answer its autogenerated mail;
  88. only subscribed addresses may post.</p>
  89. <p>For this list's members only, preliminary libraries under discussion
  90. are available from the YahooGroups <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/files/boost/" >Files section</a> (formerly
  91. called the "vault").</p>
  92. <h3><a name="archive">Archives</a> for Boost developers list</h3>
  93. <p>A <a href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Browse/Threaded/boost/" >searchable
  94. mailing list archive</a> has been generously contributed to the <a href="http://aspn.activestate.com" >ActiveState Programmer Network</a> by <a

  108. <a name="interest"></a><H2>Boost Interest Mailing List</H2>
  109. <P>This list is a moderated low-traffic announcement-only list of interest to
  110. the Boost community. On topic messages will include announcements of books,
  111. magazine articles, papers, talks, seminars, products, tools, events, or
  112. conferences on advanced uses of C++, generic/generative/meta-programming, and,
  113. of course, the Boost libraries. Off topic will be discussion of any kind and job
  114. postings. Subscribe or unsubscribe at the <a href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-interest">Boost-Interest home page</a>.

  116. <h2><a name="projects">Project-Specific lists</a></h2>
  117. Several mailing lists have been established for specific Boost projects:
  118. <dl>
  119. <dd>
  120. <h3><a name="jamboost">Boost.Build</a> (jamboost) list</h3>
  121. The Yahoogroups mailing list for the <a href="../tools/build">Boost
  122. Build System</a> is located <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jamboost/" >here</a>. GMane provides <a
  123. href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build">NNTP
  124. access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.build" >Searchable
  125. Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post">this note</a>
  126. before posting to the newsgroup.
  127. <h3><a name="cplussig">Python C++-Sig</a> (for Boost.Python)</h3>
  128. The <a href="http://www.python.org/sigs/c++-sig/">Python C++-sig</a>
  129. is not strictly Boost-specific, but nearly all the traffic concerns
  130. <a href="../libs/python">Boost.Python</a>. See also the <a href="#langbinding" >Language Binding</a> list below. GMane provides <a
  131. href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c%2b%2b">NNTP
  132. access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.python.c%2b%2b" >Searchable
  133. Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post">this note</a>
  134. before posting to the newsgroup. There are also searchable archives
  135. at <a href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Browse/Threaded/c++-sig" >ASPN</a>.
  136. <h3><a name="langbinding">Language Binding</a></h3>
  137. The <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-langbinding" >Language
  138. Binding</a> list is for discussion of a generalized framework for
  139. binding C++ to other languages and systems based on the technology of
  140. <a href="../libs/python">Boost.Python</a> and <a href="http://luabind.sourceforge.net/" >Luabind</a>. The plan is to provide
  141. a single front-end for describing bindings with runtime-pluggable
  142. back ends for binding to specific languages. It is <b>highly
  143. recommended</b> that new subscribers read through the <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >
  144. message history</a> <b>from the beginning</b> before posting; it will
  145. save time as much design progress has already been made. GMane
  146. provides <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >NNTP
  147. access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >
  148. Searchable Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post" >this note</a> before posting to the newsgroup.
  149. <h3><a name="spirit">Boost.Spirit</a> lists</h3>
  150. Spirit has two additional mailing lists. <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-general" >Spirit-general</a>
  151. for Spirit users and <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-devel" >Spirit-devel</a>
  152. for Spirit developers (open to anyone who wishes to hang out with
  153. Spirit coders). Both have <a href="http://www.gmane.org">GMane</a>
  154. NNTP access (<a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.general" >Spirit-general</a>
  155. and <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.devel" >Spirit-devel</a>)
  156. with searchable archives ( <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.general" >
  157. Spirit-general</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.devel" >

  173. list</a>. The list main participants are regression runners -
  174. people who run Boost tests on a variety of compilers and
  175. platforms, and the maintainers of tools for collecting and
  176. processing test results.</p>
  177. <p><b>Important:</b> questions relevant to a wider audience,
  178. including questions about Boost.Test framework or test results
  179. for a particular library, should be posted to main development
  180. list.</p>
