<title>Resources on the Internet</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>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
|
|
to stay informed of the latest advances. Since FreeBSD is a
|
|
volunteer effort, the user community itself also generally serves
|
|
as a <quote>technical support department</quote> of sorts, with
|
|
electronic mail, web forums, and USENET news being the most
|
|
effective way of reaching that community.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>

<sect1 id="eresources-mail">
|
|
<title>Mailing Lists</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The mailing lists are the most direct way of addressing
|
|
questions or opening a technical discussion to a concentrated
|
|
FreeBSD audience. There are a wide variety of lists on a number
|
|
of different FreeBSD topics. Addressing your questions to the
|
|
most appropriate mailing list will invariably assure a faster
|
|
and more accurate response.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The charters for the various lists are given at the bottom
|
|
of this document. <emphasis>Please read the charter before
|
|
joining or sending mail to any list</emphasis>. 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para><emphasis>If you wish to test your ability to send to
|
|
&os; lists, send a test message to &a.test.name;.</emphasis>
|
|
Please do not send test messages to any other list.</para>
|
|
</note>

|
|
<para>When in doubt about what list to post a question to, see
|
|
<ulink url="&url.articles.freebsd-questions;">How to get best
|
|
results from the FreeBSD-questions mailing
|
|
list</ulink>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Before posting to any list, please learn about how to
|
|
best use the mailing lists, such as how to help avoid
|
|
frequently-repeated discussions, by reading the <ulink
|
|
url="&url.articles.mailing-list-faq;"> Mailing List Frequently
|
|
Asked Questions</ulink> (FAQ) document.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Archives are kept for all of the mailing lists and can be
|
|
searched using the <ulink
|
|
url="&url.base;/search/index.html">FreeBSD World Wide Web
|
|
server</ulink>. The keyword searchable archive offers an
|
|
excellent way of finding answers to frequently asked questions
|
|
and should be consulted before posting a question. Note that
|
|
this also means that messages sent to FreeBSD mailing lists
|
|
are archived in perpetuity. When protecting privacy is a
|
|
concern, consider using a disposable secondary email address
|
|
and posting only public information.</para>

<title>List Charters</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><emphasis>All</emphasis> 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 Postmaster
|
|
<email>postmaster@FreeBSD.org</email>, 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Rules of the road:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>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 &a.chat;
|
|
is freely available and should be used instead.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>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 <quote>-stable & -scsi</quote>),
|
|
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 <literal>Cc</literal>
|
|
line then the <literal>Cc</literal> line should also be
|
|
trimmed before sending it out again. <emphasis>You are
|
|
still responsible for your own cross-postings, no matter
|
|
who the originator might have been.</emphasis></para>

<para>Personal attacks and profanity (in the context of

an argument) are not allowed, and that includes users

|
|
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.
|
|
<emphasis>However</emphasis>, 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.</para>
