Newcomers are welcome to join the group: +you needn't be a super programmer, but you should be prepared +to listen and learn, as well as to contribute patches if you can. +Since everyone is a volunteer, you will usually be expected +to try to implement any suggestions you make. + +<h1><em>Lynx-Dev Discussion List</em></h1> +<p> +The developers communicate through a mailing list +-- see below for details -- , which is open to interested users +as well as programmers. Topics include fixing bugs, increasing +Lynx's tools and powers, meeting the ever-changing demands +of the Internet and porting Lynx to new systems. +<p> +Anyone may read what has been said on the list by visiting +<a href="http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/"> the Archive</a>. + +<h1><em>Development Versions of Lynx</em></h1> +<p> +Besides <em>releases</em>, which are stable versions of Lynx +which come out once or twice a year and can be obtained +from <a href="http://lynx.isc.org/release/">the release site</a>, +there are <em>development</em> versions, +which are experimental -- though usually stable enough to use -- +and appear every few weeks, depending on current activity. +You can find the latest <em>development</em> version of Lynx +by visiting +<a href="http://lynx.isc.org/current/">the development site</a>. + +<h1><em>Subscribing to Lynx-Dev</em></h1> +<p> +If you are interested in joining the Lynx mailing list, +send e-mail to <a href="mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=subscribe"> lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a> +with "subscribe" as the subject line. +<p> +You will need to answer one follow-up question to confirm you want to subscribe. +Mailman will then enroll you and send all messages +which you address to <em>lynx-dev@nongnu.org</em> to all subscribers; +you will also receive all messages sent by other subscribers. + +<h1><em>Unsubscribing from Lynx-Dev</em></h1> +<p> +To <em>unsubscribe</em>, send an e-mail to +<a href="mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=unsubscribe"> lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a> +with "unsubscribe" as the subject line. + +<h1><em>Casual Inquiries</em></h1> +<p> +Anyone may ask a question or offer a comment by sending e-mail +to <a href="mailto:lynx-dev@nongnu.org"> the list</a>. +Since all subscribers are volunteers, +you depend on their goodwill and will be more likely +to get a response if you give the e-mail a meaningful `Subject' +and include details of your version of Lynx, hardware and software. +You can check the Archive to find any responses.<p> +Messages from non-subscribers are not immediately distributed +to avoid spam. Usually, if your message appears genuine, +it will be retrieved from the pile headed for the wastebasket +within a day or so and distributed to the list. +For best results, subscribe as described above. + +<h1><em>The Lynx-Dev Archive</em></h1> +<p> +Messages posted to lynx-dev are archived in html format +so that you can view them using Lynx: go to the +<a href="http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/">Mail Archive</a>. + +</body> +</html> |
