                      3:           Please report improvements to: [email protected]
                      4: 
                      5: * GNU mailing lists are also distributed as USENET news groups
                      6: 
                      7: The mailing lists are gated both ways with the gnu.all newsgroups at
                      8: ohio-state.edu.  The one-to-one correspondence is indicated below.  If
                      9: you don't know if your site is on USENET, ask your system administrator.
                     10: If you are a USENET site and don't get the gnu.all newsgroups, please
                     11: ask your USENET administrator to get them.  If he has your feeds ask
                     12: their feeds, you should win.  And everyone else wins: newsgroups make
                     13: better use of the limited bandwidth of the computer networks and your
                     14: home machine than mailing list traffic; and staying off the mailing
                     15: lists make better use of the people who maintain the lists and the
                     16: machines that the GNU people working with rms use (i.e. we have more
                     17: time to produce code!!).  Thanx.
                     18: 
                     19: * Getting the mailing lists directly
                     20: 
                     21: If several users at your site or local network want to read a list and
                     22: you aren't a USENET site, Project GNU would prefer that you would set up
                     23: one address that redistributes locally.  This reduces overhead on our
                     24: people and machines, your gateway machine, and the network(s) used to
                     25: transport the mail from us to you.
                     26: 
                     27: * How to subscribe to and report bugs in mailing lists
                     28: 
                     29: Send messages ABOUT these lists, such as reports of mail problems, or
                     30: requests to be added or removed, to help-gnu-emacs-request (or
                     31: info-gnu-request, bug-gdb-request, etc.), NOT to info-gnu-emacs (or
                     32: info-gnu, etc.).  These <LIST_NAME>-request addresses go only to the
                     33: people who can do something about your requests or problems, and thus
                     34: avoids disturbing everyone else.
                     35: 
                     36: Note that all GNU mailing lists are maintained by volunteers.  They get
                     37: behind occasionally.  Wait at least 3 or 4 days before asking again.
                     38: Thanks!
                     39: 
                     40: Many of the GNU mailing lists are very large and are received by many
                     41: people.  Please don't send them anything that is not seriously important
                     42: to all their readers.  All GNU mailing lists are unmoderated, mail
                     43: reflectors, except info-gnu, info-gnu-emacs, info-gcc, info-g++ and
                     44: info-gnu-fortran.
                     45: 
                     46: All addresses below are in internet format.  Consult the mail guru for
                     47: your computer to figure out address syntaxes from other networks.  From
                     48: UUCP machines:
                     49:        ..!ucbvax!prep.ai.mit.edu!ADDRESS
                     50:        ..!uunet!prep.ai.mit.edu!ADDRESS
                     51: 
                     52: If a message you mail to a list is returned from a MAILER-DAEMON (often
                     53: with the line:
                     54:       ----- Transcript of session follows -----
                     55:  don't resend the message to the list.  All this return means is that
                     56: your original message failed to reach a few addresses on the list.  Such
                     57: messages are NEVER a reason to resend a piece of mail a 2nd time.  This
                     58: just bothers all (less the few delivery failures (which will probably
                     59: just fail again!)) of the readers of the list with a message they have
                     60: already seen.  It also wastes computer and network resources.
                     61: 
                     62: It is appropriate to send these to the -request address for a list, and
                     63: ask them to check the problem out.
                     64: 
                     65: * Send Specific Requests for Information to: [email protected]
                     66: 
                     67: Specific requests for information about obtaining GNU software, or GNU
                     68: activities in Cambridge and elsewhere can be directed to:
                     69:        [email protected]
                     70: 
                     71: * General Information about all lists
                     72: 
                     73: Please keep each message under 40,000 characters.  Some mailers bounce
                     74: messages that are longer than this.
                     75: 
                     76: Most of the time, when you reply to a message sent to a list, the reply
                     77: should not go to the list.  But most mail reading programs supply, by
                     78: default, all the recipients of the original as recipients of the reply.
                     79: Make a point of deleting the list address from the header when it does
                     80: not belong.  This prevents bothering all readers of a list, and reduces
                     81: network congestion.
                     82: 
                     83: The GNU mailing lists and newsgroups, like the GNU project itself, exist
                     84: to promote the freedom to share software.  So don't use these lists to
                     85: promote or recommend non-free software.  (Using them to post ordering
                     86: information is the ultimate faux pas.)  If there is no free program to
                     87: do a certain task, then somebody should write one!
                     88: 
                     89: * General Information about info-* lists
                     90: 
                     91: These lists and their newsgroups are meant for important announcements.
                     92: Since the GNU project uses software development as a means for social
                     93: change, the announcements may be technical or political.
                     94: 
                     95: Most GNU projects info-* lists (and their corresponding gnu.*.announce
                     96: newsgroups) are moderated to keep their content significant and
                     97: relevant.  If you have a bug to report, send it to the bug-* list.  If
                     98: you need help on something else and the help-* list exists, ask it.
                     99: 
                    100: See section '* General Information about all lists'.
                    101: 
                    102: * General Information about help-* lists
                    103: 
                    104: These lists (and their newsgroups) exist for anyone to ask questions
                    105: about the GNU software that the list deals with.  The lists are read by
                    106: people who are willing to take the time to help other users.
                    107: 
                    108: When you answer the questions that people ask on the help-* lists, keep
                    109: in mind that you shouldn't answer by promoting a proprietary program as
                    110: a solution.  The only real solutions are the ones all the readers can
                    111: share.
                    112: 
                    113: See section '* General Information about all lists'.
                    114: 
                    115: * General Information about bug-* lists and reporting program bugs
                    116: 
                    117: If you think something is a bug in a program, it might be one; or, it
                    118: might be a misunderstanding or even a feature.  Before beginning to
                    119: report bugs, please read the section ``Reporting Emacs Bugs'' toward the
                    120: end of the GNU Emacs reference manual (or node Emacs/Bugs in Emacs's
                    121: built-in Info system) for a discussion of how and when to send in bug
                    122: reports.  For GNU programs other than GNU Emacs, also consult their
                    123: documentation for their bug reporting procedures.  Always include the
                    124: version number of the GNU program, as well as the operating system and
                    125: machine the program was ran on (if the program doesn't have a version
                    126: number, send the date of the latest entry in the file ChangeLog).  For
                    127: GNU Emacs bugs, type "M-x emacs-version".  A debugger backtrace of any
                    128: core dump, can also be useful.  Be careful to separate out hypothesis
                    129: from fact!  For bugs in GNU Emacs lisp, set variable debug-on-error to
                    130: t, and re-enter the command(s) that cause the error message; Emacs will
                    131: pop up a debug buffer if something is wrong; please include a copy of
                    132: the buffer in your bug report.
                    133: 
                    134: Please don't send in a patch without a test case to illustrate the
                    135: problem the patch is supposed to fix.  Sometimes the patches aren't
                    136: correct or aren't the best way to do the job, and without a test case
                    137: there is no way to debug an alternate fix.
                    138: 
                    139: The purpose of reporting a bug is to enable the bug to be fixed for the
                    140: sake of the whole community of users.  You may or may not receive a
                    141: response; the maintainers will send one if that helps them find or
                    142: verify a fix.  Most GNU maintainers are volunteers and all are
                    143: overworked; they don't have time to help individuals and still fix the
                    144: bugs and make the improvements that everyone wants.  If you want help
                    145: for yourself in particular, you may have to hire someone.  The GNU
                    146: project maintains a list of people providing such services.  It is
                    147: distributed with GNU Emacs in file etc/SERVICE, and can be requested
                    148: from [email protected].
                    149: 
                    150: Anything addressed to the implementors and maintainers of a GNU program
                    151: via a bug-* list, should NOT be sent to the corresponding info-* or
                    152: help-* list.
                    153: 
                    154: Please DON'T post your bug reports on the gnu.* newsgroups!  Mail them
                    155: to bug-*@prep instead!  At first sight, it seems to make no difference:
                    156: anything sent to one will be propagated to the other; but if you post on
                    157: the newsgroup, the information about how to reach you is lost in the
                    158: message that goes on the mailing list.  It can be very important to know
                    159: how to reach you if there is anything in the bug report that we don't
                    160: understand.  Bug reports also reach the GNU maintainers quickest when
                    161: they are sent to the bug-* mailing list submittal address.
                    162: 
                    163: And please DON'T post your GNU bug reports to comp.* or other non gnu.*
                    164: newsgroups, they never make it to the GNU maintainers at all.  Please
                    165: mail them to bug-*@prep instead!
                    166: 
                    167: See section '* General Information about all lists'.

                    174: used by the GNU Project to ask people for various kinds of help.  It is
                    175: NOT for general discussion.
                    176:

                    187: This list is for serious discussion of freed software, the GNU
                    188: Project, the GNU Manifesto and their implications.  It's THE place for
                    189: discussion that is not appropriate in the other GNU mailing lists and
                    190: gnUSENET newsgroups.
                    191: 
                    192: Flaming is out of place.  Tit-for-tat is not welcome.  Repetition
                    193: should not occur.
                    194: 
                    195: Good READING and writing are expected.  Before posting, wait a while,
                    196: cool off, and think.
                    197: 
                    198: Don't trust pronouncements made on gnu-misc-discuss about what GNU is,
                    199: what FSF position is, what the GNU General Public License is, etc.,
                    200: unless they are made by someone you know is well connected with GNU and
                    201: are sure the message is not forged.
                    202: 
                    203: USENET and gnUSENET readers are expected to have read ALL the articles
                    204: in news.announce.newusers before posting.  If news.announce.newusers is
                    205: empty at your site, wait (the articles are posted monthly), your posting
                    206: isn't that urgent!  Readers on the Internet can anonymous ftp these
                    207: articles from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil under directory
                    208: PD2:<UNIX-C.USENET>.
                    209: 
                    210: Someone from the Free Software Foundation will attempt to follow this
                    211: group as time and volume permits.
                    212: 
                    213: Remember, "GNUs Not Unix" and "gnUSENET is Not USENET".  We have
                    214: higher standards!
