<h1><em>Lynx-Dev Discussion List</em></h1>
Lynx-dev is a majordomo mailing list used by developers and
interested users as a forum to discuss the further development of
the Lynx World Wide Web browser. Topic issues include fixing
known bugs, porting Lynx to various systems, and increasing the
usability of Lynx.
<h2><em>Open access</em></h2>
