  • Email lists, aka listserv, aka mailing lists
    • Not all FOSS projects have these
    • Some have multiple (-dev, -new, -user, etc.)
  • Many options, but 2 most common:
    • mailman
    • Google Groups
  • Good resource for learning how a community interacts
    • lurking on the listserv
    • reviewing the archives
  • Moderated or not?
  • How to (un)subscribe?
    • Check (link to how to ask questions) page for your project
    • For mailman…
  • Etiquette
    • Inline replies vs. top replies
    • text-only vs. html replies
  • Archived and publicly available (read: don't be a dumbass)
