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

- <H2>Boost <a name="announce">Announce</a> mailing list</H2>
- <p>This is an announce-only list for notification of upcoming software
- releases and formal reviews of proposed libraries. One to three messages
- per month. Subscribe or unsubscribe at the <a href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-announce" >Boost
- Announce list home page</a>.</p>
- <a name="interest"></a><H2>Boost Interest Mailing List</H2>
- <P>This list is a moderated low-traffic announcement-only list of interest to
- the Boost community. On topic messages will include announcements of books,
- magazine articles, papers, talks, seminars, products, tools, events, or
- conferences on advanced uses of C++, generic/generative/meta-programming, and,
- of course, the Boost libraries. Off topic will be discussion of any kind and job
- postings. Subscribe or unsubscribe at the <a href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-interest">Boost-Interest home page</a>.
- </P>
- <h2><a name="projects">Project-Specific lists</a></h2>
- Several mailing lists have been established for specific Boost projects:
- <dl>
- <dd>
- <h3><a name="jamboost">Boost.Build</a> (jamboost) list</h3>
- The Yahoogroups mailing list for the <a href="../tools/build">Boost
- Build System</a> is located <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jamboost/" >here</a>. GMane provides <a
- href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build">NNTP
- access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.build" >Searchable
- Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post">this note</a>
- before posting to the newsgroup.
- <h3><a name="cplussig">Python C++-Sig</a> (for Boost.Python)</h3>
- The <a href="http://www.python.org/sigs/c++-sig/">Python C++-sig</a>
- is not strictly Boost-specific, but nearly all the traffic concerns
- <a href="../libs/python">Boost.Python</a>. See also the <a href="#langbinding" >Language Binding</a> list below. GMane provides <a
- href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c%2b%2b">NNTP
- access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.python.c%2b%2b" >Searchable
- Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post">this note</a>
- before posting to the newsgroup. There are also searchable archives
- at <a href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Browse/Threaded/c++-sig" >ASPN</a>.
-
- <h3><a name="langbinding">Language Binding</a></h3>
- The <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-langbinding" >Language
- Binding</a> list is for discussion of a generalized framework for
- binding C++ to other languages and systems based on the technology of
- <a href="../libs/python">Boost.Python</a> and <a href="http://luabind.sourceforge.net/" >Luabind</a>. The plan is to provide
- a single front-end for describing bindings with runtime-pluggable
- back ends for binding to specific languages. It is <b>highly
- recommended</b> that new subscribers read through the <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >
- message history</a> <b>from the beginning</b> before posting; it will
- save time as much design progress has already been made. GMane
- provides <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >NNTP
- access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >
- Searchable Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post" >this note</a> before posting to the newsgroup.
