  <heading>Resources on the Internet<label id="eresources"></heading>
 |

 | 
						|
  <p><em>Contributed by &a.jkh;.</em>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  <p>The rapid pace of FreeBSD progress makes print media impractical as a
 | 
						|
    means of following the latest developments.  Electronic resources are
 | 
						|
    the best, if not often the only, way stay informed of the latest advances.
 | 
						|
    Since FreeBSD is a volunteer effort, the user community itself also
 | 
						|
    generally serves as a `technical support department' of sorts, with
 | 
						|
    electronic mail and  USENET news being the most effective way of reaching
 | 
						|
    that community.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The most important points of contact with the FreeBSD
 | 
						|
    user community are outlined below.  If you are aware of other
 | 
						|
    resources not mentioned here, please send them to the &a.doc
 | 
						|
    so that they may also be included.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <sect>
 | 
						|
        <heading>Mailing lists<label id="eresources:mail"></heading>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Though many of the FreeBSD development members read USENET, we cannot
 | 
						|
always guarantee that we will get to your questions in a timely fashion
 | 
						|
(or at all) if you post them only to one of the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.*
 | 
						|
groups.  By addressing your questions to the appropriate mailing list
 | 
						|
you will reach both us and a concentrated FreeBSD audience, invariably
 | 
						|
assuring a better (or at least faster) response.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The charters for the various lists are given at the bottom of this
 | 
						|
document.  <bf>Please read the charter before joining or sending
 | 
						|
mail to any list</bf>.  Most of our list subscribers now receive many hundreds
 | 
						|
of FreeBSD related messages every day, and by setting down charters
 | 
						|
and rules for proper use we are striving to keep the signal-to-noise ratio
 | 
						|
of the lists high.  To do less would see the mailing lists ultimately fail
 | 
						|
as an effective communications medium for the project.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Archives are kept for all of the mailing lists and can be searched
 | 
						|
using the <url url="../search/search.html"
 | 
						|
name="FreeBSD World Wide Web server">.  The keyword searchable archive
 | 
						|
offers an excellent way of finding answers to frequently asked
 | 
						|
questions and should be consulted before posting a question.

<sect1><heading>How to subscribe<label id="eresources:subscribe"></heading>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>All mailing lists live on <tt>FreeBSD.ORG</tt>, so to post to a
 | 
						|
given list you simply mail to <em>listname</em><tt>@FreeBSD.ORG</tt>.  It
 | 
						|
will then be redistributed to mailing list members world-wide.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To subscribe to a list, send mail to &a.majordomo and include
 | 
						|
<tscreen><verb>
 | 
						|
subscribe <listname> [<optional address>]
 | 
						|
</verb></tscreen>
 | 
						|
In the body of your message.  For example, to subscribe yourself to
 | 
						|
freebsd-announce, you'd do:
 | 
						|
<tscreen><verb>
 | 
						|
% mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG
 | 
						|
subscribe freebsd-announce
 | 
						|
^D
 | 
						|
</verb></tscreen>
 | 
						|
If you want to subscribe yourself under a different name, or submit a
 | 
						|
subscription request for a local mailing list (note: this is more efficient
 | 
						|
if you have several interested parties at one site, and highly appreciated by
 | 
						|
us!), you would do something like:
 | 
						|
<tscreen><verb>
 | 
						|
% mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG
 | 
						|
subscribe freebsd-announce local-announce@somesite.com
 | 
						|
^D
 | 
						|
</verb></tscreen>
 | 
						|
Finally, it is also possible to unsubscribe yourself from a list, get a
 | 
						|
list of other list members or see the list of mailing lists again by
 | 
						|
sending other types of control messages to majordomo.  For a complete
 | 
						|
list of available commands, do this:
 | 
						|
<tscreen><verb>
 | 
						|
% mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG
 | 
						|
help
 | 
						|
^D
 | 
						|
</verb></tscreen>
 | 
						|
Again, we would like to request that you keep discussion in the technical mailing
 | 
						|
lists on a technical track.  If you are only interested in the "high points"
 | 
						|
then it is suggested that you join freebsd-announce, which is intended only
 | 
						|
for infrequent traffic.
 | 
						|
 |

<sect1><heading>List charters<label id="eresources:charters"></heading>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p><bf>All</bf>FreeBSD mailing lists have certain basic rules
 | 
						|
which must be adhered to by anyone using them.  Failure to comply
 | 
						|
with these guidelines will result in two (2) written warnings from the
 | 
						|
FreeBSD <url url="mailto:postmaster@freebsd.org" name="Postmaster">,
 | 
						|
after which, on a third offense, the poster will removed from all
 | 
						|
FreeBSD mailing lists and filtered from further posting to them.
 | 
						|
We regret that such rules and measures are necessary at all, but
 | 
						|
today's Internet is a pretty harsh environment, it would seem, and
 | 
						|
many fail to appreciate just how fragile some of its mechanisms are.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Rules of the road:
 | 
						|
<itemize>
 | 
						|
<item>The topic of any posting should adhere to the basic charter of the list
 | 
						|
      it is posted to, e.g. if the list is about technical issues then your
 | 
						|
      posting should contain technical discussion.  Ongoing irrelevant chatter
 | 
						|
      or flaming only detracts from the value of the mailing list for everyone
 | 
						|
      on it and will not be tolerated.  For free-form discussion on no
 | 
						|
      particular topic, the <url url="mailto:freebsd-chat@freebsd.org"
 | 
						|
      name="freebsd-chat"> mailing list is freely available and should
 | 
						|
      be used instead.</item>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<item>No posting should be made to more than 2 mailing lists, and only
 | 
						|
      to 2 when a clear and obvious need to post to both lists exists.
 | 
						|
      For most lists, there is already a great deal of subscriber overlap
 | 
						|
      and except for the most esoteric mixes (say "-stable & -scsi"), there
 | 
						|
      really is no reason to post to more than one list at a time.
 | 
						|
      If a message is sent to you in such a way that multiple mailing lists
 | 
						|
      appear on the Cc line then the cc line should also be trimmed before
 | 
						|
      sending it out again.
 | 
						|
      <em>You are <bf>still</bf> responsible for your own cross-postings, no
 | 
						|
      matter who the originator might have been.</em></item>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<item>Personal attacks and profanity (in the context of an argument) are
 | 
						|
      not allowed, and that includes users and developers alike.  Gross
 | 
						|
      breaches of netiquette, like excerpting or reposting private mail
 | 
						|
      when permission to do so was not and would not be forthcoming, 
 | 
						|
      are frowned upon but not specifically enforced.  <bf>However</bf>,
 | 
						|
      there are also very few cases where such content would fit within the
 | 
						|
      charter of a list and it would therefore probably rate a warning
 | 
						|
      (or ban) on that basis alone.</item>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<item>Advertising of non-FreeBSD related products or services is
 | 
						|
      strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate ban if it
 | 
						|
      is clear that the offender is advertising by spam.</item>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
</itemize>

						|

<tag/FREEBSD-ARCH/ <em>Architecture and design discussions</em><newline>
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
Messages will mostly be kept technical in nature, with (rare)
 | 
						|
exceptions for other messages the moderator deems need to reach all
 | 
						|
the subscribers of the list.  Examples of suitable topics:
 | 
						|
<itemize>
 | 
						|
<item>How to re-vamp the build-system to have several customized builds
 | 
						|
running at the same time
 | 
						|
<item>What needs to be fixed with VFS to make Heidemann layers work

						|
</itemize>
 | 
						|
Example of a non-suitable topic:
 | 
						|
<itemize>
 | 
						|
<item>How do I write a network driver?
 | 
						|
</itemize>
 | 
						|
The moderator reserves the right to do minor editing (spell-checking,
 | 
						|
grammar correction, trimming) of messages that are posted to the list.
 | 
						|
The volume of the list will be kept low, which may include having to
 |

						|
name="WEB interface"> to it.

 | 
						|
Occasional announcements of important events (such as upcoming
