    <p>The mailing lists are the heart of the Boost community.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp; This list is
    relatively low volume (less than 100 per month).&nbsp; 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 through
    Gmane. 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Virtually all Boost
    decisions, major or minor, technical or otherwise, are reached via public
    discussion on this mailing list.&nbsp; 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
    href="http://aspn.activestate.com">ActiveState Corporation</a>. <a href=
