Plucker Mailing Lists

Plucker is a Free Software project, and we definately care about our users and user input. To help that along, we've set up three mailing lists that users and developers can join to get the latest information, releases and support from the Plucker team and other users.

Plucker Announce List

Plucker Announce List is where new releases are announced. If you are only concerned with Plucker releases, this is the list for you.

To join the list or modify your subscription preferences, visit the plucker-announce signup page.

To view the archives of this mailing list, simply visit the plucker-announce archives here or here and read any messages you wish.

Plucker General List

Plucker General List is for general Plucker user questions and is a fairly low traffic list, and covers most of the basic setup, configuration, and user questions people may have.

To join the list or modify your subscription preferences, visit the plucker-list signup page.

Plucker Development List

The Plucker Development list is intended for focused development discussion amongst the core Plucker development team and other contributors. Of course, anyone is welcome to read the list, but don't be surprised if we get deep into code quickly.

To join the list or modify your subscription preferences, visit the plucker-dev signup page.

General Mailing List Ettiquette

Most mailing lists have a set of guidelines for how you should post messages to the list, and Plucker's mailing lists follow these general rules of ettiquette. Here's a short list of do's and don'ts for posting to the various Plucker mailing lists.

HTML is not email, and email doesn't contain HTML, so please turn HTML formatting OFF in your email client. Do not use italics, colors, bold, fonts, pictures, sounds, or other HTML elements. Providing HREF (link) elements is allowed. Please use only 7-bit text when sending email to the lists.

If you are replying to another message, quote only the portions of that message that you are specifically responding to, and insert your comments after those quotes. Do not "top-post", as it loses the reader and the flow of the message and can annoy other readers.

Stay on-topic for the list. This isn't a good place to discuss automobiles, politics, music, or anything that is not related to Plucker. Sometimes topics will diverge from the general discussion, but please try to keep it relevant to the project.

Do not start a New message or thread by hitting "Reply" in your mail client and changing the subject. When you do this, you mess up other participant's ability to read mail in a threaded fashion. When you mean to post a new message, use New, and when you want to reply to an existing message, hit Reply.

Please make sure the date and time on your computer is always current. When your date is set to something such as the year 2006, messages posted by you will get sorted based on that date, which may put them outside of the related month or year they belong in.

Most of all, enjoy yourself on the list, and read messages from other users. In them, you may find ideas, solutions to problems, or other information that may be useful to you.
