  49. <p>The mailing lists are the heart of the Boost community.&nbsp; You may
  50. read the lists via full-content email, email digests, or via newsgroup
  51. reader.</p>
  52. <p>Hosting for the mailing lists is donated by the <a href=
  53. "http://www.osl.iu.edu/">Open Systems Lab at Indiana University</a>.</p>
  54. <p>Access to Boost mailing lists via newsgroup (NNTP) is contributed by
  55. <a href="http://www.gmane.org/">GMANE</a>.</p>
  56. <h2><a name="main">Boost</a> developers mailing list (also available via
  57. newsgroup)</h2>
  58. <p>This is the main Boost mailing list.&nbsp; It is high volume (over
  59. 1000 messages per month), very technical, and oriented toward Boost
  60. library developers. It is also read by many other members interested in
  61. watching the Boost library development process.&nbsp; Virtually all Boost
  62. decisions, major or minor, technical or otherwise, are reached via public
  63. discussion on this mailing list.&nbsp; It is where the formal reviews of
  64. proposed libraries take place. Subscribe or unsubscribe at <a href=
  65. "http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost">http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost</a></p>
  66. <p>When we talk about the "members of Boost", we are talking about those
  67. signed up for this main mailing list.</p>
  68. <p>For those who prefer to participate via an NNTP (<a name=
  69. "newsgroup">newsgroup</a>) interface, a gateway to the Boost mailing list
  70. is available at <a href=

  73. from a <a href=
  74. "http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost">subscribed</a> email
  75. address, though you can configure your subscription settings to disable
  76. mail delivery if you prefer to read messages via the newsgroup.</p>
  77. <p>For this list's members only, preliminary libraries under discussion
  78. are available from the YahooGroups <a href=
  79. "http://www.yahoogroups.com/files/boost/">Files section</a> (formerly
