already answered in this &FAQ;.
How do I subscribe/unsubscribe to these lists?
To subscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:
kde-request@kde.org
kde-announce-request@kde.org
kde-look-request@kde.org
The email must contain subscribe
your_email_address in the
subject.
To unsubscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:
kde-request@kde.org
kde-announce-request@kde.org
kde-look-request@kde.org
The email must contain unsubscribe
your_email_address in the
subject.
Never send subscribe/unsubscribe request to the
mailing lists directly! Use the list-request
instead.
There is also a complete list of all &kde;-related mailing
lists, and a web interface for subscribing and unsubscribing located
at http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo.
Is there a mailing list archive?
Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by Progressive Computer
Concepts. The &URL; is http://lists.kde.org. There you
will see a folder listing of the mailing lists. Note that you can
only do a subject/author search at this level. You probably will not
find what you want doing this kind of search.
To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists.
Just click on the folder you want to search (⪚ kde
or kde-devel
) and then the pull-down menu by the search
box will default to Body
searches. To be thorough, you
should probably search the kde
, kde-linux
, and kde-devel
folders.
Is there a newsgroup about &kde;?
Yes, there is! It is at comp.windows.x.kde.
In addition, there is also a German newsgroup at
de.alt.comp.kde. Please note that it is not a good
idea to ask questions which are already answered in this
&FAQ;.
