*Mailing list Guidelines*
* *Respect the mailing list type*
-The "User" lists where you can send questions and comments about
configuration, setup, usage and other "user" types of questions.
-The "Developer" lists where you can send questions and comments about
the actual software source code and general "development" types
of questions.
Some questions are appropriate for posting on both the "user" and the
"developer" lists. In this case, pick one and only one. Do not cross post.
Asking a configuration question on the developers list is frowned
upon because developers' time is as precious as yours. By contacting
themdirectly instead of the user base you are abusing resources. In
fact, it is unlikely that you will get a quicker answer, if at all.
** Keep your messages closely related to the topic of the list.
*
* *Keep your email short and to the point; use a suitable subject line.*
If your email is more than about a page of text, chances are that it
won't get read by very many people.
Remember that thousands of copies of your message will exist in
mailboxes --
please keep your messages as short as possible. ) or excessively
quoting previous
messages in the thread (trim the quoted text down to the most
recent/relevant messages only).
If you are replying to a previous email, it is a good idea to only
quote the
parts that you are replying to and to remove the unnecessary bits.
This makes
it easier for people to follow a thread as well as making the email
archives easier to search and read.
* *Avoid including log output*
Select only the most relevant lines, or place the log on a website
or in a pastebin instead
(You can use paste.debian.net or pastebin.com)
** Debate the issue, do not engage in personal attacks.*
* *Don’t send somebody else’s private email, without the permission of
the person.*
** Keep your signature concise.*
