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

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

  154. Spirit has two additional mailing lists. <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-general" >Spirit-general</a>
  155. for Spirit users and <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-devel" >Spirit-devel</a>
  156. for Spirit developers (open to anyone who wishes to hang out with
  157. Spirit coders). Both have <a href="http://www.gmane.org">GMane</a>
  158. NNTP access (<a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.general" >Spirit-general</a>
  159. and <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.devel" >Spirit-devel</a>)
  160. with searchable archives ( <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.general" >
  161. Spirit-general</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.devel" >

  178. people who run Boost tests on a variety of compilers and
  179. platforms, and the maintainers of tools for collecting and
  180. processing test results.</p>
  181. <p><b>Important:</b> questions relevant to a wider audience,
  182. including questions about Boost.Test framework or test results
  183. for a particular library, should be posted to main development
  184. list.</p>
