4.7. Mailing Lists

I have three mailing lists for Umbrello, one for developers, one for users and a low traffic list for announcements. The developers list, uml-devel, is by far the most active and is where most of the discussion about the programme occurs. It is also the target of the mailings generated by commits to CVS and changes to the bugs database. Threads on this list can be anything from proposing a psuedo-metamodel that plugs in at the reflective layer to wishing the other developers a happy new year. Uml-user is a lower traffic list and mainly consists of people having problems compiling the programme. These are usually general trivial problems with their Unix install which would prevent any KDE programme from being compiled. The users list can often venture into the topics of the developers list due to the technical nature of the programme but the list is worth keeping to prevent trivial topics flooding the developer's list. The uml-announce list is a very low volume list used to announce new releases.
