discussed in detail. Some of the more important lists that users
might be interested in are:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term>kde</term>

discussions.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>This list is used to announce new versions of &kde; as
well as new tools and applications.</para></listitem>

feel, and general user interface considerations.</para></listitem>

<question id="subscribe">
<para>How do I subscribe/unsubscribe to these lists?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>To subscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><ulink
url="mailto:kde-request@kde.org">kde-request@kde.org</ulink></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="mailto:kde-announce-request@kde.org">kde-announce-request@kde.org</ulink></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="mailto:kde-look-request@kde.org">kde-look-request@kde.org</ulink></para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The email must contain <userinput>subscribe
<replaceable>your_email_address</replaceable></userinput> in the
subject.</para>
<para>To unsubscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><ulink url="mailto:kde-request@kde.org">kde-request@kde.org</ulink></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="mailto:kde-announce-request@kde.org">kde-announce-request@kde.org</ulink></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="mailto:kde-look-request@kde.org">kde-look-request@kde.org</ulink></para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

subject.

lists, and a web interface for subscribing and unsubscribing located

<question>
<para>Is there a mailing list archive?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by <ulink
url="http://www.progressive-comp.com">Progressive Computer
Concepts</ulink>. The &URL; is <ulink
url="http://lists.kde.org">http://lists.kde.org</ulink>. 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.</para>
<para>To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists.
Just click on the folder you want to search (⪚ <quote>kde</quote>
or <quote>kde-devel</quote>) and then the pull-down menu by the search
box will default to <quote>Body</quote> searches. To be thorough, you
should probably search the <quote>kde</quote>, <quote>kde-linux</quote>, and <quote>kde-devel</quote> folders. </para>
